(a godparent (also known as a sponsor), in many ‘denominations’ of ‘christianity’, is someone who ‘bears witness’ to a child’s ‘baptism’ and then aids in their ‘catechesis’, as well as their ‘lifelong spiritual formation’).
(in the past, in some ‘countries’, the role carried some ‘legal obligations’ as well as ‘religious responsibilities’)
(in both ‘religious’ and ‘civil’ views, a ‘godparent’ tends to be an individual chosen by the ‘parents’ to take an interest in the child’s ‘upbringing’ and ‘personal development’, and to take care of the ‘child’ should anything happen to the ‘parents’)
(a ‘male godparent’ is a ‘godfather’, and a female godparent is a ‘godmother’)
(the child is a godchild (i.e. godson for ‘boys’ and goddaughter for ‘girls’))
