Kanye West and Kim Kardashian had their daughter, North West, baptized at Saint James Cathedral in the Israeli capital Jerusalem yesterday (April 14).
“Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Khloe Kardashian showed up Monday afternoon to the Saint James Cathedral — an Armenian church in Jerusalem — to baptize 22-month-old North,” TMZ reports. “Kim was mobbed as she walked into the church, shielding baby North from the massive crowd that had gathered outside the church.”
A video shows the scene outside the Cathedral. Reporters, cameraman and fans surrounded the family as they entered the church. They exited the church in an orderly fashion, with the assistance of security.
West and Kardashian followed the baptism by having lunch with with Jerusalem’s mayor, Nir Barkat.
“’We raised a toast to Jerusalem,’ Barkat recounted of his encounter with the celebrities at a local restaurant,” The Jerusalem Post reports. “The mayor added that during the meeting, he asked the couple ‘to be ambassadors of Jerusalem and to spread the message around the world that Jerusalem is open and everyone is wanted here.’”
The family is expected to travel to Jordan today. While in Armenia over the weekend, Kanye West jumped into a lake during his performance there.
“What a crazy night! Kanye wakes me up & says he’s doing a free concert in Yerevan, Armenia!” Kim Kardashian says on Instagram. “I throw on sweats & we head out! Thousands of people were there! Kanye jumped in swan lake to be closer to the crowd on the other side & so many people jumped in too! It was such an exciting crazy night! So happy I got to rock out with everyone in Armenia on our last night here!!!!”
West and Kardashian were in Armenia to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Armenian genocide.

I just read that Kim and Kanye took their baby North to be baptized. That is one of the most wonderful things they could do for their daughter. I was very touched by it. God bless them and their family.
if you fuck with kanye ur a confused person just as he says
hell make a statement song then do the complete opposite
gold diggers- marries a kardashian
new slaves- sells you 100 dollar white tees and 3000k uggs for men
talk about black pride marries a ‘white’ chick.
kanye dont know what he want in life.
that is the biggest contradiction ever. Israel is an active killer, colonizer that is also an apartheid state. you go to armenia because they suffered from appartheid 100yrs ago and then you go to israel who is doing just that since more than 50yrs.
I Agree 1000% with u my G. F*ck the Armenian Genocide, this is the biggest lie.
that is amazing, Israel is such a beautiful country with amazing people and it is very important to our christian religion.
i would really love to go their again soon
So little kids who know nothing get baptized? Lol watch her become atheist.
Heard of the Eastern sin, mayn? We born with it. Many Christian-denominations acknowledge this and use baptism as the entrance into God’s family, clearing us, as born sinners (due to the Eastern sin).
However, for new born Christians, or born again, or whatever terminology is used, they tend to wait for baptism until a later age, simmering in sin.
