Հրապարակվել են Երուսաղեմի հայկական եկեղեցում Քիմ Քարդաշյանի դստեր մկրտության լուսանկարները.

Incredible moment: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West took their daughter North to be baptised in the holy St. James Cathedral in Jerusalem's Old City during their recent trip to the Holy Land

Traditional: Kim covered her body in a full skirt and long sleeves, while wearing a scarf on her head as a mark of respect while cradling her 22-month-old during the service

An honour: North West was inducted into the Armenian Apostolic Church on April 13, the same religion as her famous mother

Family first: Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian (right) was also in attendance at the ceremony, acting as godmother to her niece

Rite of passage: Kim held her daughter in her arms as the Baptism minister read the holy scripture

Centuries-old ceremony: The family were joined by members of the Armenian church for the service

Uncovered: As a male attendee within the church, 37-year-old Kanye was not required to wear anything on his head, unlike the adult female members of his family

A big moment: At nearly two years old, little North may not have been completely aware of the incredibly important show of faith around her

Kisses: While being cuddled by Kim, North was given a kiss by her famous father

Incredible scenes: Within the 12th century church, North looked on as she received one of the holiest blessings in civilisation

Out of her hands: Doting mum Kim, 34, then passed her only daughter to the minister, who was above them on the altar

Proud moment: Kim and Kanye looked on as their tot was taken into the arms of the Armenian church official

Serene: While outside the iconic holy building were scenes of chaos as fans gathered to see the famous family, inside was a different matter

Quiet time: Kanye seemed chastened by the entire ceremony, as his daughter became a member of the Armenian Apostolic Church, otherwise known as the Gregorian Church

Noble moment: North is now a member of the oldest national church in the world

All tuckered out: North will celebrate her second birthday in June, just a few weeks after joining her parents for their tour of Armenia and Jerusalem

Sleepy girl: During the hour-long service, North fell asleep for a little while

Doting auntie: While Khloe stood behind Kim and Kanye, she reached out to stroke North's arm in the midst of service

Baptism traditions: North had Holy water poured on her head, and was also given a cross, as Kim later admitted she was 'thankful' for the special event

Bilingual: The ceremony lasted an hour, and was conducted in both English and Armenian
