I understand that there are some Religious  Denominations/groups that don’t christen their children on the eighth day according to the doctrines of some other churches and the reason they gave was that, after the coming of Christ everything changed. Even though He was born and christened on the eight day (according to the Jewish tradition in those days) but later made those around Him understand that his coming changed everything, including observation of the Sabbath day and most of the Jewish Laws then.

My question is: Child Christening on the Eighth Day is it a Biblical Observation  or Nigerian/Yoruba Tradition?

Pls. I need your opinion as this affects a lot of people Financially.

You have answered your own question.

Babyosi thanks for your comment but that wasn't an answer. I am talking about peoples' belief and i wanted to know the truth since we have alot of doctirnes today. I wanted to hear other peoples' view based on the churches they attend and their doctrines. So ur view will be appreciated rather than being dry about it.

The practice may have been derived from Genesis 17:12 & 13 - waiting until a child is eight days old before the circumcision.

Although those verses are more concerned with circumcision, they have been taken to furnish an understanding of christening a child on the eighth day - although this practice does not appear to be standard among many people today.
