holy water stoups (Christian religious building fixtures, religious building fixtures, ... Components (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Basins or bowls containing holy water at the entrance of a church. The font may be of various forms, either built into the wall, standing on a pedestal, or as a bucket hanging from a fixture. Often richly decorated, they are typically used by worshippers to cross themselves upon entering and exiting the church. The holy water font evolved from the fountain for ablutions that was placed in the center of the atrium of the early Christian basilica, and is still placed there in Eastern rites. Before entering the church, worshippers washed their hands and feet in accordance with a rite derived from Judaism. When the atrium of the Christian basilica was reduced to the proportions of a narrow court or a simple porch, the fountain gave way to a smaller structure.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Waterbekkens bij de ingang van een kerk, bedoeld om te worden gevuld met wijwater. Ze kunnen in een muur zijn ingebouwd of vrijstaand op een sokkel zijn geplaatst. Ze komen in allerlei vormen voor en zijn vaak rijk gedecoreerd. 
German ..... Becken oder Schüssel mit Weihwasser am Eingang einer Kirche. Das Becken kann verschiedene Formen aufweisen, es kann entweder in eine Wand eingebaut sein, auf einem Sockel stehen, oder in Form eines Eimers von einer Befestigung herabhängen. Meist reich geschmückt, wurde es üblicherweise von Kirchgängern genutzt, um sich beim Eintreten oder Verlassen der Kirche zu bekreuzigen. Das Weihwasserbecken entwickelte sich aus dem Waschbrunnen, der im Zentrum der Vorhalle einer frühchristlichen Basilika aufgestellt war und noch heute in östlichen Riten existiert. Vor dem Eintreten in die Kirche wuschen Kirchgänger ihre Hände und Füße entsprechend einem vom Judentum abgeleiteten Ritus. Wenn die Vorhalle der christlichen Basilika nur die Größe eines schmalen Hofes oder einer einfachen Veranda hatte, wurde der Brunnen zugunsten eines kleineren Bauwerks aufgegeben. 
Spanish ..... Basins at the entrance of a church used to contain holy water.
