.Catholic AnswerOriginally it is thought that the baptismal font was located near the entrance to the Church, or even in the narthex, symbolic of the fact that baptism is how one enters the Church. I think over the centuries, it migrated up to the front of the Church, and in the last fifty years, I have seen baptismal fonts all over the place.
