Birth or christening?

Most godparents choose the birth: the date, the hour on the hospital band and the town. Some choose the christening service itself. Either way, we find the catalogued galaxy that was directly overhead and frame its telescope photograph with the name, the place, the date and a line from you.

A godparent's present that is not silver

Godparents in the UK traditionally give something silver: a christening cup, a bracelet, a spoon. Those go in a drawer. A framed piece goes on the nursery wall, and moves with the child to every bedroom after.

If there are several godparents, agree who brings what. The framed piece also works as a present from grandparents.

A moment, made infinite.

Questions

Which size suits a nursery?

11 × 14 in or 16 × 20 in. It can move to a bigger wall later.

Is it suitable for a naming ceremony that isn't religious?

Yes. Choose the birth or the day of the naming, and the line can be as secular as you like.

Can the godparents' names go on it?

Yes, if they fit, for example 'With love from your godparents, Jo & Sam'.

A gift that grows up with them.
