Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-46291 SIAMESE TWINS BAPTIZED PHILADELPHIA -- Clara (left) and Altagracia Rodriguez, the two Siamese twins separated in a historic operation in Philadelphia last September, pose for a picture after their formal baptism into the Roman Catholic Church at Children’s Hospital. Father Gabrial Rea, C.M., of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church, baptized the children. The girls, who were taken home to the Dominican Republic several days after the baptism, were given conditional baptism when they were born in August 1973, as they were not expected to survive. The ceremony in the chapel of Children’s Hospital was witnessed by the 23 members of the surgical team that separated the twins. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-PHI-12A-74-DS)
