baptism day

Infant dedication occasion

Baptism day is the day on which a person receives the Christian sacrament of baptism—typically marked by ceremony, family gathering, and celebration.

For infants, it's often a milestone commemorated alongside birthdays.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any initiation or first experience: Today was my baptism day in the world of competitive chess.
