The holy water basin, also known as the baptismal basin, is used in Christian churches to hold holy water for baptism ceremonies. It is usually located at the entrance of the church or inside the baptismal hall, and is used by believers when entering or leaving the church. Believers can dip their fingers in holy water and then cross themselves or perform personal prayers. It is usually made of stone or metal, with a shallow bowl or bowl shape, often carved and decorated. These holy water basins not only have religious significance, but are also an important element of Romanesque architecture.
