Girls Christening Gowns

Someone who has been baptized as an adult will often be buried in their baptismal robe, if they have not advanced to some higher ministry within the church.

The Anglican church grew from its mother the Church of England and includes the Episcopal Church in the United States. It views itself as the 'unbroken continuation of the early apostolic and later medieval' "universal church", rather than as a 'new formation'. Many of the early traditions are therefore the same as the Roman Catholic and the family heirloom long white gown is still used by many families. The modern church allows for much diversity, but usually the clothing is still white for the infant or young child.
