There is no literal 'fire altar' in Christian tradition. This was primarily a pagan custom where their children were sacrificed in the fire to their god baal. Some historians/theologians have attributed this terrible practice to Nimrod.
The altar in Christian tradition represents Christ's sacrifice for salvation, as it is where the Eucharist is celebrated. The font represents the cleansing and rebirth through baptism, which is a key step in the salvation process for believers. Together, these elements symbolize the journey of salvation from sacrifice to rebirth in the Christian faith.
