The 21-month-old tot was welcomed into the Christian faith at the St. James Cathedral in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, with her parents Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West by her side, while her aunt Khloe Kardashian was named as her godmother.

In keeping with common practice when there isn't a godfather, the priest took that role, E! News reports.

After the ceremony, which a source described as "so special", the family exited the church at around 6.30pm and enjoyed an "intimate" dinner with Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat at Mona Restaurant.

The evening was a particular hit with West, who "loved" the food and was happy to try as many different dishes as possible, and spent the evening chatting with the mayor about Israel and some of the beautiful and historic things to do there.

North was described as being in "great spirits" but "a bit restless" after a long day.

The group were up early to take in a special sightseeing trip in the city - which is sacred to the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths - at the site of Jesus Christ's crucifixion.

Kardashian West tweeted: "Good morning Jerusalem! We woke up really early to see the site where the crucifixion of Jesus Christ took place."

The group are expected to continue their trip - which began in Armenia - by travelling to Jordan later today.
