Kim Kardashian West and her rap mogul husband Kanye West, were asked
to be ambassadors of Jerusalem while visiting the city to get their
daughter North West baptized Monday.
The 22-month-old toddler traveled to Armenia with her parents for
five days before reaching Jerusalem, where she was baptized in the
Cathedral of Saint James in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of
Jerusalem, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The celebrity couple also reportedly met with the mayor of Jerusalem,
Mayor Nir Barkat. Aside from toasting to Jerusalem, Barkat spoke
to The Jerusalem Post about asking the Wests "to be ambassadors of
Jerusalem and to spread the message around the world that Jerusalem
is open and everyone is wanted here."
The church where North was baptized is the principal church of the
Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, according to the The Jerusalem
Post. While in attendance, the publication described the famous
parents' attire, which included Kanye wearing white and Kim dressed
in a long peach and beige frock and North a beige outfit.

Khloe Kardashian, the youngest Kardashian sister, was on hand as
North's godmother and dressed in black. Sources close to the situation
reportedly spoke about the family's dream to visit Jerusalem.
"They flew [into Jerusalem] especially for [the baptism]," a close
family source told PEOPLE. "They knew it was close to Armenia and
it was always a dream to come to Jerusalem. There's an Armenian
quarter, and they did it at this old beautiful church. It was epic. So
beautiful."
The family was expected to leave for Jordan on Tuesday, according to
TMZ reports.
Archbishop Aris Shirvanian, an Armenian church official, spoke about
the family's celebrity status, which resulted in numerous cameras
following them as they prepared for North's baptism ceremony.
"Kim Kardashian's daughter will be baptized and become a Christian
officially and a member of the Armenian church," Shirvanian told The
Associated Press before the baptism took place. "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."
