Description

A white concrete baptismal font. Made by Andy Graham for the Log Valle Anglican Church in the 1920's."the baptismal font is the receptacle in which water is held for the baptism, one of the most important rituals in Christian churches. Baptism signifies the washing away of sins and incorporation into the Christian Church, forgiven of past indiscretions through faith in Christ. So, while some fonts are used to write things down, the baptismal font is used to erase."
