Escoger a un Padrino de Bautizo para nuestros hijos no es una decisión fácil, mucho menos si nos tomamos en serio el papel que queremos que tome en la vida de nuestro hijo. Generalmente hay una lista de personas muy queridas e importantes que queremos que tomen ese papel, pero ¿que tenemos que considerar antes de tomar esa decisión?.
Muchos de nosotros sólo recordamos a nuestros padrinos de bautizo por las fotos que se tomaron ese día en el evento y seamos sinceros o los veíamos en algún cumpleaños o bien sabíamos de su existencia por algún regalo enviado en navidad.
En cambio para otros (y más afortunados, podríamos decir) los padrinos han estado presentes en todos y cada momento de sus vidas y se han convertido en un respaldo, apoyo y ejemplo a seguir.
¡Eso es lo que nosotros buscamos para nuestros hijos!
Es importante puntualizar que una vez que tus elegidos acepten el rol de padrinos o madrinas de tu pequeño, sepan de ante mano que deben de estar presentes como una figura a lo largo de la Vida y que no es sólo el acto de la ceremonia, que se comprometan a estar en la vida de la familia , pues estarán aceptando un lazo de “compadrazgo”.
Es por eso que te compartimos el significado que tienen los padrinos y unos tips para que puedas elegir quienes son los Padrinos más adecuados para tu pequeño.
Significado de los padrinos
Los Padrinos tienen su origen en las religiones cristianas y ellos eran los que acompañaban y formaban de manera espiritual la vida religiosa del bautizado.
Actualmente no solo están presentes en la vida religiosa del o los pequeños, si no que forman parte de la vida.
Los padrinos son los protectores en caso de que a los padres les llegue a pasar algo, incluso su función es de ser “segundos padres” por lo que ser elegido es una gran responsabilidad y también es tener el honor de contar con tanto cariño y confianza de los padres del bautizado.
¿Cómo elegir correctamente a los padrinos de mi bebé?
Para decidir cómo elegirlos aquí te damos unas ideas:
Platica con tu pareja y discutan sobre si es que la o las personas elegidas cumplen con lo que de verdad desean para sus hijos, recuerden que no siempre es necesario que los elegidos sean pareja, pueden ser amigos de cada uno o bien solo mujeres o solo hombres (esto es algo que también deben de platicar con su iglesia o religión).
Una de las responsabilidades tradicionales de los Padrinos es que ellos obsequian algunos productos que se utilizan en la Ceremonia Religiosa (Como son el ropón con accesorios, la vela y el cirio, etc) y en algunas ocasiones también con algunos para la celebración (Como por ejemplo los Recuerdos de Bautizo) .
Aquí te dejamos algunas ideas de bolos para bautizo personalizados.
Incluye a los padrinos a la vida familiar y social del pequeño, desde el momento del bautizo y a lo largo de todas las etapas de la vida, de esta forma el pequeño tiene la oportunidad de valorar a las personas que le rodean y tendrá en cuenta que existen personas en las que puede confiar y apoyarse cuando lo necesite.
Elegir bien a quien queremos de padrinos de nuestros hijos marcará una diferencia en su vida y le dará, como ya mencionamos, la posibilidad de tener una guía emocional y espiritual.
“Ser padrino es el compromiso bajo promesa, de llevar de la mano a un hijo que la vida nos prestó”.

Raphael y los que cerca de él >> Four stars of Raphael / Cuatro estrellas de Raphael >> Manuel Martos Figueroa, youngest son of Raphael / Manuel Martos Figueroa, el hijo menor de Raphael
MANUEL MARTOS FIGUEROA, EL HIJO MENOR DE RAPHAEL
In mid-December 1978, a variety of print and electronic publications in Spain reported that on December 13, the famous singer Rafael once again became a father.
Drawing by Elena Shplatova.
His wife Natalia made such a wonderful gift to her husband: their second son became the third child in this popular family. The son was named Manuel. nine0005
El tercer hijo de Raphael and
Natalia se llama Manuel. 1978
A few days later, Manuel was presented to the press at the Paloma clinic in Madrid .
It is worth paying attention to the fact that almost from birth the baby was under the closest attention of photos and cameras, which, of course, speaks of the status of his illustrious father…
But it could well become a real application, which fate had prepared for him, for that artistic career that this boy would inevitably choose for himself when he reached a certain age and he would inevitably face the question of what he should do in this life. nine0005
In the arms of his grandfather, the Marquis Agustin Figueroa, he felt quite calm and confident, as if feeling that he had come to a world where he was sincerely expected and already loved.
And his father immediately felt that this baby would become something more than just a child for him … And so it happened when one fine day Manuel became the most serious assistant to his great father. But this story is yet to come.
In the meantime, quite a bit of time has passed, and little Manuel went to his own christening, which took place in Mexico and which we have already talked about in sufficient detail. nine0005
Therefore, we invite our readers to turn to the relevant pages of our publication so that the story of the childhood of the youngest son Raphael turns out to be more exhaustive.
Manuel’s christening. 1979
And then came the years, which are always wonderful for most children and which are colored by the brightest memories that accompany a person all his life.
A joyful and cozy childhood in the circle of loved ones, filled with numerous hobbies, endless travels due to the peculiarities of Rafael’s professional career as an artist, close and most faithful friendship between brothers and sisters, and everyone’s constant concern for everyone else, gradually flowed into youth, when everything arose.
more acute is the need to devote most of both time and effort to the educational process, because the inevitable decision on the issue of future activities had to be decided independently. nine0005
So it was in this family, because Rafael and Natalia clearly realized that parents, even the most correct and sensitive, cannot do this for their children without committing violence.
Although it is quite easy to assume that the fact that Manuel was the youngest among the younger generation gave him certain advantages over his brother Jacobo and sister Alejandra: he got a little less responsibility and, in turn, a little more carelessness.
nine0002 But the atmosphere, kind and joyful, that reigned in this amazing family, became the most important tool that had a real impact on growing children, in the most serious way determining their understanding of life, future work and attitude towards those who are constantly nearby.

Rafael is constantly busy: his responsible attitude to his work, the understanding that millions of people around the world are constantly waiting for him, makes him, after finishing the tour, immediately go to the next…
And so every free day, every little break is used by him to be with his chicos.
Their unity is the basis not only of a happy family life, but also the foundation thanks to which he can calmly give his all on stage, constantly creating small masterpieces that amaze everyone who happens to hear it.
And the children also get something from the successful career of their unique father.
nine0002 So, during a tour of the Mexican Republic, Rafael was awarded another Golden disc (1983), which marked the success of his album “ Enamorado de la vida “, and platinum – for his record “ Ayer, hoy y siempre “.
It so happened that the event coincided with Manuel’s fifth birthday.
In honor of this double event, the boy was given the right to take part in the ceremony when his father received these honorary awards for any artist. nine0005

Parents understood that the fame of the father inevitably attracts the attention of the press to his growing children.
Natalia and Rafael made every effort so that they could exist freely, being protected from the constant presence of reporters.
nine0002 However, the shelling of cells, however, was not so rare for them.
High-profile family events inevitably hit the agenda of the largest publications, publishing numerous photographs telling about the life at home of a man who has become one of the most popular people in his country.
Rafael returns to Madrid. 1993
Years rushed on, and they consisted of a constant change of landscapes of continents and countries outside the window, time zones and different educational institutions, in which steps gradually changed, which was invariably marked by the receipt of another diploma.

Manuel on stage at the premiere.
And this process must come to an end one fine day, although very often it comes quite unexpectedly.
So it happened with Manuel, when he left behind a successful graduation from a business school, which opened up a wide and interesting road to a completely independent life, which, probably, all young people who have serious ambitions aspire to.
Manuel also wanted to do his own thing, but he probably could not imagine that his future existence would proceed in isolation from his beloved parents, from that endless creativity of his brilliant father, which had long and firmly become the essence of the life of their entire clan. nine0005
And so he makes a categorical decision to stay in the office of Raphael the artist, taking on a whole series of commercial issues that are inevitably present in any kind of artistic activity.
Son and father on stage at the same age.
But he also left a certain independence for himself when he began his own musical career, to which he gravitated all the last years.
After all, at the age of 16 he wanted to return to Madrid from America, because music was becoming his life. Then all Martos Figueroa moved to Spain, which they have been putting off for many years. nine0005
So, the stage called the son of a brilliant artist to serve. It seems that this is not surprising.
But it was precisely the name of Rafael that at the same time erected considerable obstacles on the creative path of the novice performers, who must inevitably be compared with his father, whose name is a great legend in his homeland in Spain.
This is probably why Manuel made his first serious appearance on the stage far from the omniscient capital, that is, where it was possible not to attract attention with his family ties. nine0005
And in the spring of 2003, the media announced the premiere concert already in the capital’s Clamores hall, where Manuel and his group, which was called ‘ In Fraganti ‘, performed in front of the audience in Madrid.
All his relatives attended the concert to witness this important moment in Manuel’s life. Everyone except mother and father… at that very moment, Raphael was on a special list, waiting for a donor, which would allow for a liver transplant, which was the only one that could save him as an artist. Natalia refused to leave her husband even for the premiere of her beloved son…
The group was successful. The press noted this, concluding that Rafael and Manuel are completely different performers, but they have the same love for music.
Manuel soon changed the format of his creative process, when he and his friend, guitarist Alvaro de Azcarate, decided to start performing on their own, creating a new band.
The appearance of Mota and further successful musical activity, as well as the interest that the work of young performers aroused among their quickly emerging fans, may have become an additional argument in favor of what Rafael did at the end of 2006, when he first attracted Manuel to participate in his traditional Spanish Christmas program.
nine0005
They played a duet with one of the popular Christmas songs.
It seems that this first joint performance was successful, because Rafael sang with pleasure along with his beloved son. And there were many interesting things ahead…

Six months later, the first album of the new group appeared on sale. That year, Manuel released his first disc, which experts called successful.
At that time, Rafael shared his feelings with journalists, saying that he really likes Manuel’s choice of life path, because he now has someone to discuss professional problems in his own family with, which gives him frank pleasure and satisfaction. nine0005
Amelia and Manuel became inseparable.
But at the end of 2007, it became known about the upcoming wonderful event, when Natalia Figueroa, Manuel’s mother, shared the news with reporters: Manuel and Amelia Bono, the daughter of longtime friends of their family, Defense Minister José Bono and entrepreneur Ana Rodriguez, decided to conclude a marriage that Manuel’s loved ones unequivocally supported.
They are very attractive to the chosen one, who received a law degree and is now an employee of one of the boutiques of the chain Tous owned by Ana Rodriguez.
Thus, Manuel became the last of the younger generation of Martos-Figueroa, who left his father’s house, starting a family. But Rafael and Natalia know perfectly well that the bonds among all of them are infinitely strong: they are simply inseparable. Rafael is convinced that Manuel will achieve great success because he is gifted and knows how to work and he can always count on his father’s support.
Rafael and José Bono,
and Manuel Martos received an award before the wedding. 2008
Shortly before the wedding, Mota received the “Kapital” award as the best pop-rock group, which was a kind of gift to Manuel for a wonderful day..
Manuel, the youngest son of Raphael, is getting married.
2008
On June 27, 2008, Manuel and Amelia Bono said “yes” to each other.
And in the fall, a series of performances by Manuel and Alvaro took place in the capital and Toledo. Critics rated the program as very successful, not ignoring the fact that it was Raphael’s son who began his musical career seriously. nine0005
The group’s style, already clearly formed, has absorbed many things and, above all, it is dominated by the principles of the Madrid school of popular music.
Amelia supports her husband in everything.
However, the quite distinct influence of the previous decade in a broader sense is quite clearly felt, which together endows young musicians with an impressive individuality.
Manuel began to appear everywhere with his young wife, who found it necessary to accompany her husband in a variety of situations. nine0005
Speaking to the press, breaking his tradition of not talking about personal matters, he said that Amelia is his true inspiration, and she gives him real support in his affairs.
They really want to say their own word in music
…
Moreover, the popularity gradually grew, and their compositions, the number of which increased, gained fame and their fans.
nine0002 In the same period, another curious event occurred when Manuel became one of the artists who participated in the dubbing of the Spanish version of the animated film “Robinsons”.
So, his mother Natalia and father, Rafael, gathered with him for the first time in the recording studio.
Descubriendo a los Robinsons. 2007
At the end of 2008, Rafael gave a concert at the Lope de Vega Theater in Madrid, dedicated to his 50th anniversary of performing arts. nine0005
And an album made up of a series of duets went on sale, in which Rafael performed one of his son’s compositions, “El cielo puede esperar”, together with Manuel.
And then, when Rafael went on tour in Spain, Manuel performed the same work in several concerts with his father, which caused a special delight of everyone who visited these performances in Barcelona, Seville and Malaga.
And this duet with each new performance sounded more spectacular. nine0005
In June 2009, Manuel and his wife Amelia presented their newborn son, who was named Jorge.
He increased the number of grandchildren in the Raphael family to five. This boy has become a great joy for all generations of Martos-Figueroa.
The firstborn of Manuel and Amelia Jorge
came into this world:
young parents and their firstborn
Life goes on. Manuel and Amelia often attend various events, where their appearance always attracts the closest attention. nine0005
They love to be always together, and this cannot but cause sincere admiration, because the spouses not only sincerely love each other, but are true like-minded people in everything.
A little over a year later, Amelia and Manuel again introduced their baby, who this time was named after his father, that is, Manuel.
Amelia Bono y Manuel Martos
esperan su segundo hijo.
2010
Happy again and
always a young grandfather!
So, little Jorge has a future playmate, and he will not be bored.
Grandson number six was born neatly before the premiere of Rafael’s new program, becoming a true gift for such a wonderful event.
Photojournalists never miss a popular couple:
her appearance at events always arouses interest…
And again, time rushed forward, and the children, who were still very young yesterday, run merrily, not wanting to sit still for a second. Life goes on…
And creativity is also gaining momentum. So, Rafael, having conceived an interesting work – rewriting old works in a new way, the cycle of which was called Mi Gran Noche , attracted Manuel, whose exact look he needed in collaboration with Jacobo Calderon, the most famous arranger in Spain. nine0005
Amelia with Manuel Jr. in her arms.
And Manuel perfectly, it must be admitted quite frankly, coped with this very difficult, but very responsible role.
Rafael repeatedly emphasized this in his various interviews, saying that the presence of Manuel in the project personally was of great help to him, since only his beloved son has the opportunity to frankly and directly express his opinion when others are simply ashamed or afraid. nine0005
It is possible that this field with the light hand of Raphael will bring Manuel good luck in the future.
Such a good start, which quite naturally, led to the fact that the great artist in subsequent projects began to give the practical part of the work on the release of new discs into the hands of his youngest son, who became his permanent executive producer.
Now there are two kids in the family:
Manuel with his eldest son.
Rafael feels great in the studio when Manuel is around, who speaks frankly and gives advice to a man who, above all, is not afraid to say what he thinks directly. For Rafael, this is very valuable, which the maestro himself spoke about many times.
And all subsequent albums saw the light with his most direct and active participation. We must pay tribute to their success, Manuel contributed to a large extent, showing exceptional professionalism and excellent business qualities. nine0005
Rafael and Manuel Martos in the studio:
the next album is being worked on.
And very soon, Manuel, having left the stage for good, continued his career at Universal Music as an art director, having done a lot for the successful development of the career of such musical figures in Spain as Pablo Lopez and David Bisbal, and became a permanent member of the jury of the most popular competition “ Operación Triunfo 2017″ . So, he gradually ceased to be known as the son of Raphael, and his creative “I” became a completely independent phenomenon. nine0005

It is worth saying that his understanding and sense of music, so highly valued by Rafael, was confirmed by the fact that it was Manuel who was approached by Disney to implement the soundtracks for ‘High School Musical 2’ and ‘High School Musical 3’.
nine0002
Raphael:
We finished the work in the studio (Raphael Sinphonico).
A million thanks to Fernando Velazquez, Manuel Martos, and Filipe Guevara.
You are amazing! 2015
Another piece of news soon arrived: Manuel and Amelia are expecting a baby again. They really wanted a girl, and they really hoped for it … But fate decreed otherwise, and in December 2013, the third child of Martosov-Bono, a boy named Gonzalo, will be born. nine0005
Rafael met his grandson, who was not upset. The parents said that they would not stop there, and therefore they believe that the next time fate would be more favorable to them.
The parents weren’t too upset. And after a short time, they said quite confidently that they did not plan to stop there, because the young parents sincerely hope and believe that the next time fate will be more favorable to them and give them a long-awaited daughter. nine0005
And therefore, three years later, at the very end of October 2016, the news came that they became parents for the fourth time. And it turned out to be a boy again, who was named Jaime…
So Raphael was not too far from the truth when he said that, apparently, the children of his children want to create a football team.
But this child, too, was infinitely desired and greeted with great joy, as is always the case with Martos Figueroa.
Several years have passed, and the younger generation turned out to be passionate admirers of the work of their illustrious grandfather, and the older ones even regularly go to his concerts, applauding his performances and showing serious interest in what else the great maestro will give his fans new.
nine0005
And once the whole family, which grew so rapidly, went to Andalusia, to Linares, to visit the Raphael Museum in person.
It seems that the kids, having been there and seen a wonderful exposition, truly felt how significant and revered the father of their beloved father is in their country.
Another grandson was born!
This family has always loved children very much and dreamed that there would be as many of them as possible… It brings joy and happiness to them. And here they will give love and sincere warmth to everyone, no matter how the further relationship between dad and mom develops, because anything happens in life …
