The Catholicos-Patriarch baptizes the third and subsequent children of married parents.

In Georgia, the 69th mass baptism took place at the Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba) in Tbilisi, and Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II became the godfather of another 1,200 children, reports Sputnik Georgia.

Currently, Patriarch Ilia has more than 47,000 godchildren.

As is known, in 2008, the Georgian Orthodox Church decided that the Patriarch would baptize the third and subsequent children of married parents to improve demographics.

As reported by the UOJ, Georgia passed a law against LGBT in the first reading.
