About the baptism font:

This baptism font was made in 1941 by Antoon Molenboer from Venetian mosaic stones. Originally intended for the Holy Ghost Church in Paris, but it was destroyed in WWII. The Holy Spirit (dove) stands on top of the column (also in mosiac), which depicts Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River.
