A baptismal font is where a baptism is performed. Exactly what is done depends on the denomination or congregation. Some baptisms are performed by sprinkling some water from the baptismal font on the head of the person being baptized. Other churches perform baptisms by immersion, which means the person being baptized must go completely under the water. Usually a prayer or blessing is said while the baptism is being performed.
