Tonight is the Easter Vigil when, among other things, people who have been preparing to join to the church over the past year or so will be baptized. Here are pictures of the Lateran Baptistery next to Rome’s cathedral, St. John Lateran. After the early persecution period until about the start the 2nd millennium of Christianity, there were a lot of adult baptisms and immersion was typical. Added on, bishops did most of the baptizing and usually only a few times a year (modern-day confirmation split off of baptism once the practice moved to baptisms done by more people more often). Thus, the cathedrals would have separate bapistry structures that focused on a large inset font. The ceremonies would often be single-sex (or mirrored spaced within the building). The Lateran Baptistery was build in the 5th century, eventually connected to the cathedral with later construction, and as all things Catholic in Rome, given some artistic treatment during the Renaissance
