Font (present location) in Swords Demesne

Killossery church lost its font before the present building stood, and the bowl reappeared in the porch at Swords. It is a round stone basin decorated with vine leaves, sitting on a later pedestal and now planted with flowers instead of holding water for baptism. The transfer suggests a community that refused to let go of a sacred object, even when the church itself changed. What was poured into that bowl in another place may have been carried across the landscape and set down again, still clean, still ready to use.
