Scene Description: showing the new baptismal-dish holder bearing the names of the Four Rivers of Paradise: "Seit Ostern hat der Taufstein eine schmiedeeiserne Halterung für die Schale. Der Kunstschmied Andreas Rimkus aus Springe hat sie im Auftrag von Abt Hirschler angefertigt. Die letzten Arbeiten wurden am Ostermontag 2019 vor der Kirche beendet. Die Halterung ist genau den Aussparungen auf dem Taufstein angepasst und mit zwei goldenen Kugeln mit ihm verschraubt. Die Namen der vier Paradiesflüsse Pischon, Euphrat, Gihon und Tigris sind eingraviert und stellen die Verbindung zur Darstellung des Paradieses dar, das den Fuß des Taufsteins schmückt. (leider im Laufe der Jahrhunderte stark zerstört)." [https://www.kirchengemeinde-loccum.de/Zur-Sache/Themen/Taufe] [accessed 24 November 2-23]
