Gift Idea for baby with Orthodox Parents

    Can I please ask for recommendations ...

    A friend of mine has just had a baby boy. Both he & his wife are practicing Orthodox Christians. The baby was given a name of a prominent Saint in religious terms that I could easily buy something for in a local shop attached to a RC-church.
    ^^^ Would that be considered wrong though? I know he (the Dad, as I worked with him for years, so would know him) won't mind but his wife, I don't know if she would not like that.

    I'd like a gift them something relating to religion considering their strong faith.
    Any suggestions?

    Many Thanks in Advance,
    kerry4sam

    This might be a tad cliched, but an icon? The Orthodox artwork on such is excellent in most cases and a framed portrait : for instance Holy Mother and Child, might be suitable and available online/religious shops.

    Of course, nothing beats a Dunne's voucher as a backup gift :)

    An icon of the Saint who the child shares the name with; open a credit union account and put a few euro in it; plant a tree somewhere to commemorate his birth; a name tag/bracelet with his name and its meaning.

    ^^^ Ah Thanks so much :)

    I just didn't want to 'cross' any line if you know what I mean.

    Beautiful Ideas there,
