In the Eastern Churh, is there a difference between Baptism and Christening?

There really is no such thing as "Christening" -- this is a term that finds its origin in the Protestant tradition as an alternative to saying "baptism." The Eastern Church uses the Holy Mystery of Baptism as the entrance into the Church. This is followed by the Holy Mystery of Chrismation (the Latins call this "Confirmation") and, finally, by the reception of the Eucharist.
