Who is Godchild?
In denominations of Christianity, a godfather or sponsor is someone who bears witness to a child's baptism (christening) and later is willing to help in their catechesis, as well as their lifelong spiritual formation. In the past, in some countries, the role carried some legal obligations as well as religious responsibilities. In both religious and civil views, a godfather tends to be an individual chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child's upbringing and personal development, to offer mentorship or claim legal guardianship of the child if anything should happen to the parents. A man is a godfather there is no female equivalent. The child is a godchild (i.e., godson for boys and goddaughter for girls).
