#baptismal font

[heavyanddissolved]

Romanesque baptismal fonts from the province of Scania (Skåne), Sweden. These ancient stone basins have a talismanic power that usually only very old art has.

Mad that I just recently confirmed that Stephen’s bathtub DOES have a canonical backstory that invalidates all the research I’ve already done!

#it’s a visgothic baptismal font that was looted relooted and repurposed #ughhhhh #and I had a whole explanation for my alternate bathtub origin story too #that it was a roman period piece that had been acquired by one of his ancestors when the family was more plentiful and wealthier #and remains in the castle bc it’s too much work to get the thing back out again #bc roman marble bathtubs were a thing #my blather #all this bathtub fanfic is for one illustration btw #I’m just uhhh like this

so glad i was raised catholic. i don't know what i would do with myself if i was raised protestant. try and appropriate catholic iconography and feel really bad about it probably.

#i think ab that post making fun of american christians for talking ab stained glass etc. when they went to church in an office blng 24/7 #like. damn. can you imagine getting fucked up over a religion you learned while sitting in a folding chair #protestants i will make fun of you but you are/were so brave for getting through that 😭 #well. actually. did y'all still have to kneel. cause Fuck having to kneel in a pew #those mfers ask you to kneel and leave you there for Months until they let you back up again #the real sacrifice in christ's name was my fucking knees #thank god my church's kneelers were fairly well padded. #for the record though i went to a church with stained glass nd a baptismal font nd everything it was really pretty actually #and a water feature running across the whole church's grounds alongside the stations of the cross... #not to doxx myself. but st. gregory the great was a good church (aesthetically) for being in socal dkjghf #valentine notes #catholic tag

#a mikvah isn't a baptismal font a mikvah isn't holy water mayyim hayyim is a different thing g

hahaha. just a silly little guy

#or #we were talking about baptism earlier bc apparently in this one ya series #if u arent baptized you dont get reincarnated which is insane bc reincarnation is not a tenet of christianity #and then we were talking abt the science wrt how fucking gross and contaminated holy water is #like in the font that just sits there for weeks at a time uncirculated unfiltered totally gross #vs how God Keeps It Clean vs ofc the number of baptisms that just straight up result in sinus infections #like damn fellas just take them down to the sea like in the old days

Demons: We need to make an antichrist

Demons: Hey random religious virgin living in christianized medieval Britain we’re going to impregnate you with the antichrist. Do not under any circumstances baptize him.

The virgin: Hey a demon impregnated me please baptize this demon baby

Priest: Okay. *dunks baby Merlin in the baptismal font*

Baby Merlin: *no longer a demon*

Demons: No! Who could have seen this coming???

The Demna Baptistry - 6th century AD - in the Bardo Museum. This early Christian baptismal font is richly decorated with mosaics discovered in Demna. It is one of the finest Christian mosaics to have been found in Africa, and even throughout the Roman world.
