Font
- The basin of water in which baptisms by immersion are performed.
Because Latter-day Saint baptism is done by full immersion, the font is built deep enough for a person to be lowered completely under the water. Meetinghouse fonts are usually a tiled pool set into a room off the chapel, kept drained and filled as needed. Temple fonts, used for baptisms for the dead, rest on the backs of twelve sculpted oxen representing the twelve tribes of Israel.
