Norway: Baby baptized in cola as substitute for frozen water


A Norwegian church has used lemon-flavored cola for baptism after its water taps were turned off due to freezing temperatures. A priest in the town of Stord, about 150 miles west of the capital Oslo, dabbed lemon fizzy water on a baby in a baptism ceremony, Reuters reported.



"It had gone flat," the daily Vaart Land quoted Priest Paal Dale as saying. "Only the lemon smell made this unusual." Dale said he told the child's family after the ceremony because he "had a need to inform" them about the lingering lemon scent. "They didn't say much, but I assumed they smelled the aroma as well," Dale said.

Oh my, I suppose it's good they informed them so they didn't wonder all day what the baby had been drinking.
