Dear Sue, I am sometimes challenged by computers, and just saw the pictures of
the beautiful Bearing Cloth. Although American, I am a card-carrying
Episcopalian/Anglican. Yet I have no clue as to the function of a Bearing
Cloth. What is it?

The bearing cloth is what was used to carry the baby to its baptism, the
original is dated 1667 and probably came from a very rich family, possibly even
royalty as nobody else could have afforded such an ornate piece.
