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