The Brit Milah Ceremony
The mother of the baby begins the ceremony, by handing her son to the K"vatterin, a woman, who assists her in introducing her son to the "Bris experience".
We invite the K"vatterin into the room, who will then hand the baby to the K"vatter. (The K"vatter is a man who assists the father in beginning the bris ceremony). The K"vatter then brings the baby closer to the location where the bris will be performed. (K"vatterin-female; K"vatter-male)
As the baby is brought into the room, everyone says: Baruch Haba-ah, or welcome! The Mohel then quotes a number of passages from the Torah in regards to the significance of the ceremony. The K"vatter then gives the baby to the man who will place the baby on the chair of Eliyahu Hanavi, or the chair of Elijah the prophet.
