Baptismal font (Triel-sur-Seine)

Baptismal font in Triel-sur-Seine

The baptismal font in the Catholic parish church of St-Martin in Triel-sur-Seine , a French commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region , was created in the 18th century. In 1982 the baroque baptismal font was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The stone baptismal font has two basins and a wooden lid from more recent times. The larger basin was used for baptism, the smaller one was used to store the consecrated water. The following inscription is affixed to the upper edge of the large basin with goddess : "NISI QUIS RENATUS FUERIT EX AQUA ET SPIRITU SANCTO NON POTEST INTROIRE IN REGNUM DEI" (He who is not born again from the water and the Holy Spirit cannot enter the kingdom of God) .
