In
a quick visit to Jerusalem, American reality TV star Kim Kardashian and
rapper Kanye West had their toddler daughter, North West, baptized on
Monday at a 12th century Armenian church in the old walled city.
Dozens of fans mobbed an SUV that took the couple, their
22-month-old child and Kardashian's sister Khloe to the church, the girl
and her father decked out in holy white and Kardashian in a long
crinkle pleated beige and peach colored outfit. See pics after d cut.....
The celebrities flew to Israel after a five-day visit to
Armenia, homeland of Kardashian's ancestors, where on Friday she placed
flowers in Yerevan at a memorial to mass killings of Armenians by forces
of the Ottoman empire, which began in 1915.
Kardashian, West, their daughter and Kardashian's sister
had just visited Armenia, her family's homeland. Armenian Prime Minister
Hovik Abrahamyan praised the couple's contribution to "international
recognition and condemnation of the Armenian genocide."
Muslim Turkey accepts many Christian Armenians died in
partisan fighting beginning in 1915, but it denies that up to 1.5
million were killed and that it amounted to genocide.
Media reports said they were expected to head on to Jordan
after the baptism in St. James Cathedral in east Jerusalem, a church
decorated with blue and white tiles made by Armenian artists in the 18th
century.
