Yesterday when I posted these, I was thinking that maybe Nicolae and Alina-Maria got a painting as a gift, but I wasn't sure, since I don't speak Romanian.
They did get three pieces of art, those at the photos.
Princess gift: unique paintings to Prince Nicolae's little girl's room
Santa Claus came earlier for Prince Nicolae and his daughter Maria-Alexandra. The Princess received as a gift from Rotenberg-Uzunov Gallery two paintings to her room, one of them representing the little girl, surrounded by some of the most famous animated characters.
Eduard Uzunov got the idea of these gifts two weeks ago, during the charity event "Art gives hope". Uzunov tells that Nicolae came, as always, to the events of the Rotenberg-Uzunov gallery and he really liked some of the works that would be sold in benefit for Institutului Clinic Fundeni. One, the central work of the collection, representing a panda bear in the jungle, by plastic artist Arina Bican, and two works with animated characters by plastic artist Martina Grigoriță. Uzunov then thought of this Christmas gift for Maria-Alexandra. Uzunov had to tell Nicolae about their intention, to get a photo of Maria-Alexandra, which could be reproduced. They agreed that the gift would be a total surprise to Alina-Maria.
Alina-Maria came to the gallery at the insistence of Nicolae, without knowing what awaited her, so the gift offered in the presence of the artists and some friends of art, had the desired effect. Alina-Maria said that it is "a super surprise they will remember for a lifetime" and that she is honored to receive such a gift, and that the frame of the picture in which her little girl appears has the color of the little girl's room: pink.
Nicolae also got a surprise: he received as a gift a work signed by Martina Grigoriță, a portrait of his great-grandmother, Queen Maria. Nicolae was impressed by the beauty of the portrait and said that it will be placed next to another artwork, of King Mihai I.

Nicolae writes at Facebook of The Prince Nicolae Association, that it is neither too early nor too late to give someone a small gift to make someone smile, to bring joy. Today, the Prince Nicolae Association gave tiramisu to 25 children, to help them end 2020 nicely and welcome 2021. Nicolae thanks Poesia Restaurant for bringing the smile on the lips of 25 children from Marie Curie Pediatric Hospital.

Nicolae congratulates his sister on her birthday.

Maria-Alexandra's christening was yesterday at the Archbishop's Cathedral in Curtea de Argeș.
The service of little Maria-Alexandra was officiated by a council of priests, headed by Nicolae and Alina-Maria's friend His Eminence Calinic, Archbishop of Argeș and Muscel (we remember that archbishop Calinic wed Nicolae and Alina-Maria). Nicolae, Alina-Maria and godparents of Maria-Alexandra wore folk costumes. Only a few people close to the family were present at the christening.

Wonderful pic's of the Baptism of little Maria Alexandra. She did not like the water being poured over her head, and she let them know it . Good for her. She is a little beauty. I assume Margarita and Radu or Nicholas mother have not been there. The future of ROMANIA, are Nicholas and Maria Alexandra.
 
:previous: Thank you Lady Finn for providing the videos and websites of Maria-Alexandra's baptism. She is a beautiful baby! It appears the ceremony includes a full immersion as evident right at the end. I find it a bit sad that Nicholas' mother wasn't there but maybe not invited or perhaps guest limits due to covid. I like that both the parents and the Godparents dressed in traditional costume.

Archbishop Calinic has been interviewed about the christening. He said he gave Nicolae and Alina-Maria an an icon on glass with the Mother of God, especially since the baby is called Maria-Alexandra. She is extremely lively. She has alertness and health, being born without surgery. She looks like Prince Nicolae, the grandson of King Mihai I. That's what the most skilled in physiognomy say, but she also looks like her mother, Princess Alina Maria. From Queen Ana, on the other hand, she has sharpness and, Calinic thinks, certain physical features

I thought Nicholas 's Sister would be the Godmother ?

Assuming she lives him the UK, we're in a national lockdown and flying for non emergency personal reasons isn't allowed and entry into Romania is restricted. She has a brother who is a Romanian citizen (I don't know if she is) so she would be allowed in but she would have to isolate for 14 days and again when she returned to the UK. So she may well have wanted to be there but couldn't be, and that goes for all over the world at the moment.

Could she still be a godmother in absentia in the Romanian Orthodox Church?
 
A lot of Godfathers or Godmothers are unable to attend the christening . They are known and on that very day another person is there.
 
New photo and official announcement of maria-alexandra's christening.

Very lovely written by Nicolae. The photo is taken by David Nivière, perhaps we will get more photos.

Do we know who the woman holding little Maria-Alexandra is or the gentleman standing next to her during the baptism, both dressed in traditional costume? I was assuming they were the Godparents or as already mentioned, due to travel restrictions, standing in for the Godparents.
 
She is not a Princess...just a cmmunor
Geraldine of Albania is a Princess !
 
She is not a Princess...

Well no, but supporters of Nicolae and he himself still refer to him as Principele Nicolae al Romaniei in various things including his own organisation, so it's not surprising that their archbishop friend referred to his wife as a Princess.

Various places have also referred to little Maria-Alexandra as a princess or royal.
 
Video from 22nd December of Nicolae and Alina-Maria at the Rotenberg-Uzunov Gallery. The event was a surprise to Alina-Maria. Their friend Eduard Uzunov gave Maria-Alexandra two paintings to her room, one of them representing Maria-Alexandra surrounded by some of the most famous animated characters and another with a panda bear in the jungle. Nicolae also got a surprise: he received as a gift a portrait of his great-grandmother, Queen Maria.

Photos of babies with their proud parents are always the best ?

She is such a sweet baby and her parents obviously adore her.
 
David Nivière posted to his Facebook an article from the christening published at this week's Point de Vue.
"This week in Point de Vue magazine, Royal Christening of Princess Maria-Alexandra of Romania in Curtea de Arges in Romania, January 23, 2021."
The article tells that Maria-Alexandra was baptized in the presence of some of her godparents, if I understand correctly via translation, she has 12 godparents.
The godparents of Maria-Alexandra who held her at the christening are prince Mihai and princess Emanuela Ghyka, close friends of Nicolae and Alina-Maria and descendants of one of the oldest families of the Romanian aristocracy. Other godparents photographed at the article are Tatian Diaconu and Flavia Pau.
Princess Elena and Nicolae's sister took part in the christening via phone.
There is a nice photo of the family with Alina-Maria's parents and brother.
