In Roman Catholic families, the child is baptized within a week or so of birth. First communion and confirmation are important events for Catholic children. Marriage generally takes place in church. Weddings are festive events. In the west they may still be attended by "straw-boys," uninvited guests dressed in straw disguises who crash the wedding and play about in good-humored fashion. ryliec2301 https://padlet.com/ryliec2301/mrq0hcor1e0o/wish/162695036 2017-03-27 04:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ryliec2301/mrq0hcor1e0o/wish/162695036
