"Ahijados"

"Ahijados" are individuals who are officially sponsored or nurtured by a godparent in religious traditions like Christianity. The term refers to those being baptized or confirmed, where a godparent commits to supporting their spiritual growth and moral development. Beyond religious contexts, "ahijados" can also be used more broadly to describe those who are mentored or protected by someone in a role similar to a guardian or patron. The relationship emphasizes guidance, care, and responsibility, fostering a bond that extends beyond formal ceremonies into ongoing support and mentorship.
