The modern reality and the nature of building relationships between people are such that people call the godfather or godfather of almost any relative or close acquaintance who cannot be given a different definition. However, historically, this concept carried a very important meaning in a religious society and imposed a number of obligations on everyone named by this name.
Kum is not at all a close relative, but rather a person who is rightfully in a so-called spiritual relationship with you, being the godfather of your daughter or son, the main character in the baptismal rite. Moreover, the name "godfather" is acceptable for the child himself. Those who are godfathers and godfathers, not only cannot be husband and wife, but from the point of view of church traditions, in no case should they have a close or intimate relationship.
Nepotism
As a rule, by tradition, it is customary to take very close friends or relatives in the godfathers whom you trust the most and who intend to communicate closely throughout your life, because the named godfather should devote the maximum amount of time to your child and even, if necessary, replace his mother or father.
Quarreling with the godfathers is still considered a bad deed, a sin. Kumovia is the closest people for children after their parents, and therefore they are always welcome guests in the house and full members of the family.
According to the rules, the godfather and godfather take baptismal oaths for his newly baptized and reborn child at the moment of the rite, according to the laws established by the church, the godfather should maximize the moral development of his godfather, introduce him to the church and introduce him to the basics of a godly life and faith, and Kuma teach life and family life. At all times, a child could come to the godparents with his fears and a lump of worldly problems.
