Thursday, December 30, 1909. Regulating religious processions.
The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs decreed that baptism ceremonies could not be performed outdoors without a permit, because they qualified as a "religious procession".
While this seems odd, a person must keep in mind the Russian crown's close association with the Russian Orthodox Church. While the overwhelming majority of Russians were baptized, in church, in that faith, there was a relatively significant Russian Anabaptist community made up of individuals who had immigrated into Russia or whose ancestors had.
This is no longer true, as the overwhelming majority have emigrated to elsewhere.
