This Holy Water Font is a lovely religious gift from Ireland. There is a raised Celtic Cross emblem at the top of this font. Down the body of the font reads ‘Faith’ in ancient Ogham writing. This water font comes with an O’Gowna swing tag explaining Ogham and that the piece celebrates ‘Faith’.

This Ogham water font is handcrafted from a bronze and limestone mix. The Celtic Cross and Ogham script are highlighted in gold leaf. Has a robust hook for hanging.
Ogham is the earliest form of Irish writing dating from the 4th century mainly. Â There are over 350 Ogham stones that have been discovered, it is also believed that Ogham was considered to be a magical script with inscription on wood similar to wands, however there are none in existence to confirm or deny this. Â It is thought to have been widely practiced by the ancient Druids as a form of sign language as the letters had no more than five characters which could be easily replicated using their hands.

Gifts purchased for an Altar Society Spring Luncheon. Each Lady received a beautiful Made in Ireland Holy Water Font that you helped in providing for us. THEY LOVED THEM!
