  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baptismal Font
The oldest western fonts are found in the Roman catacombs, cisterns hewn from the tufa in the floor of baptismal chapels.
Duchesne, I, 174) describes in detail the Constantinian font in the Lateran baptistery as a porphyry basin heavily ornamented with silver; on its rim were a golden lamb and seven silver stags from whose mouths gushed water from the Claudian aqueduct; the golden lamb was flanked by statues of the Savior and of St.
With the erection of fonts for the continual preservation of the water, reverence and cleanliness became the Church's chief concern; the font, if not of impermeable stone, must be lined with metal; it must be used exclusively for baptism, and to guard it against profanation, securely covered and locked.

 Baptismal Font
That is to say, we are baptized into Christ's path, which leads through death to Resurrection.
Since we acknowledge only one Baptism, the various forms of baptism in Christ's name done by the various Christian denominations all equally serve to induct the one baptized into the one universal Christian Church, of which each denomination is a part.
This first of the sacraments is thus the portal to life in the community of Christians, the Body of Christ on earth, which exists to hear, proclaim, and to do the Word of God for all people and all creatures.

 Bathtub Art Museum--Watt's Bathtub or Baptismal Font
While the tour was a short 20 minutes, with only 3 minutes to look around unguided, our tourguide had so much enthusiasm as she told the story of the Watts Towers, we all were in awe.
In 1921, he purchased a triangular shape lot in the Watts Neighborhood in South LA. He built a house on one side, but then he began building what is now known as the Watts Towers on the adjacent land next to his house.
The guide said that most people think it is just a bathtub, but in fact, Simon Rodia was an ordained evangelical minister, and it is believed that the bathtub is a baptismal font that Simon used in baptisms.

Water Structures strives to build baptisteries that remind the church's parishioners of the mystery of their baptism, not the family jacuzzi.
