Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West
visited a centuries-old Armenian church in Jerusalem on Monday for the
baptism of their daughter, North West.
The
Kardashians fended off swooning fans as they entered the Saint James
Cathedral in Jerusalem’s Old City. Kardashian, appearing overwhelmed,
clutched the tiny girl as she was escorted by West, her sister Khloe and
hooded clergymen
“Stop,” Kim Kardashian shouted to the crowd. “Stop! It’s not safe for the baby,” her sister added.
Archbishop Aris Shirvanian, an Armenian church official, said the family had arrived for a baptism ceremony.
“Kim
Kardashian’s daughter will be baptized and become a Christian
officially and a member of the Armenian church,” Shirvanian said,
slightly perplexed by all the commotion.
“All I know is that she’s a
famous personality. I don’t know her in person. In any case she is
welcome with her family.”
There were no details on the ceremony, and the family left the church without speaking to reporters.
The
members of reality TV’s first family arrived in a private jet at
Israel’s international airport on Monday for what was described as a
private two-day visit.
All were
captured on camera disembarking their plane and the images featured
prominently on Israeli websites. They were quickly whisked away in a
dark black SUV to a hotel in Jerusalem. Paparazzi did their best to keep
up with their movements.
The celebrities arrived from a high-profile visit to Armenia, where the Kardashian family traces its roots.
They are expected to shoot some footage for their reality show in Jerusalem before moving on to Jordan.
