The incredible incident was brought into public attention through a video that was uploaded on June 25 on YouTube by an unknown user. The video shows the priest, who is clearly annoyed, asking little Lydia whether she would like to be baptized.

When the little girls replies negatively, he asks her again, only to receive the same answer. Then the priest tells the parents: “I’m sorry, we can’t go on with the baptism. I told you so.”

He then asks the girl for the third time. She refuses again and then the priest departs, leaving the parents and the guests attending the ceremony speechless.
