Little Nori's baptism in Israel turned out to be just like any Kardashian event, as fans mobbed the reality stars at the Saint James Cathedral in Jerusalem.

After their trip to Armenia, Kanye West, along with Kim and Khloe Kardashian, touched down in Israel via private plane early morning on April 13. The members of the reality TV family were captured on camera as they stepped out of their plane and photos have started appearing on Israeli websites.

A rep for "KUWTK" star Kim told E! News that North West's parents had her baptised in the Holy Land.

Israeli media reports further confirmed that the ceremony took place at St. James Cathedral in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.

The reality stars reportedly looked excited as they arrived, pulling up to their destination in a black SUV that was swarmed by dozens of fans. Kim walked into the church, taking baby North with her and shielding her from the massive crowd that had gathered outside, according to TMZ.

An Armenian Church official, Archbishop Aris Shirvanian, confirmed the family had arrived for a baptism ceremony.

"Kim Kardashian's daughter will be baptized and become a Christian officially and a member of the Armenian Church," Shirvanian said. Looking somewhat troubled by the entire bustle, Shirvanian said that although he doesn't know Kim in person, he knows that she's a famous personality and, in any case, he added, "she is welcome with her family."

No details on the ceremony were revealed. The famous family left the church without speaking to reporters, AmericanLivewire noted.

As soon as the ceremony was over, Kimye had lunch with Nir Barkat, the mayor of Jerusalem.

No doubt, the famous family's trip has been a whirlwind as they toured main Armenian sites and even met political figures. To further make the trip memorable, Kim's rapper husband even hosted a surprise free concert in the country where Kim's father was born and raised.
