ParticipantHere we have a depiction of the Baptism of Clovis in 496 as depicted in the Les Grandes Chronique de France c. 1480. The Baptism of Clovis represented one of the important moments in the development of Western civilization in that he was the first fot he Frankish kings to have been baptized into orthodox Catholicism rather than into Arianism.

great site
This is a wonderful site and very useful. Perhaps the wreckers of St. Joseph’s Church Liscarroll will notice this site and perhaps they may learn something from it.

ParticipantRe: Baptismal Font in St. Aidan’s Cathedral, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford
I wonder has the font always been here and has the plinth always been pitched at this hight? The use of the blue encaustic tile in the inner octagon of the floor seems to suggest a a later infill, for a now disappeared lower step to the plinth?
At least, it has a cover!
