It was a normal as the child's parents and relatives still appear to be smiling but the priest was not all happy with whatever was going on brings the baby's head towards his, tells the baby to stop crying and slaps him on his face.
The priest looks annoyed, then holds the baby's face in his hands, looks it in the eyes and slaps it hard on the cheek with his bare hand.
As soon as he slaps the baby, everyone standing there seemed shocked as his aggression prompts an immediate reaction as the baby cries more loudly. The relatives look shocked too and another woman comes over to try to calm the situation by putting her hand on the clergyman's chest as if to hold him to back off.
The man who appears to be the child's father then steps in, praising the child out of the priest's grip, even as the cleric struggles for possession of the child.
