Baptismal Font The pool of water used for baptism is called a baptismal font. Water is used to remind us of new life. The tall candle is called the Easter candle. It is lit during baptism to remind us of Jesus.

Holy Water Fonts are put near the doors of churches. When you enter and leave the church, you can bless yourself with holy water to remember your own baptism. You are a member of God's family through your baptism.
