Parlin / Pralin

An entry n TVPWorld [https://tvpworld.com/38766031/sacred-serendipity-13th-c-baptismal-font-recovered] [accessed 12 June 2022] with information source to policja.pl reports the recovery of a medieval baptismal font of granite in a northwestern Polish village [name not given], said to be originally from Parlin: "In Poland, a country that has been plowed many a time by hostile armies and cataclysms, innumerous artifacts still remain on the “sought after” list and, until recently, the 13th century Romanesque baptismal font had been one of them. The parish priest of a northwestern Polish church built between 1974 and 1976 has reported the discovery of a 13th century Romanesque baptismal font. The event is all the more puzzling, given the fact that the church is a modern structure and it has no movable relics in its inventory. Once approached by the police, the priest recalled a rumor that the font was brought to the church by peasants from a village of Parlin in early 1990s, because the church that had been the initial location of the relic was in a deplorable state of a ruin. One of the policemen displayed some detective prowess, linking the priest’s story to the fact that a botheringly similar object features on the Culture Ministry’s list of lost artifacts. The officer was correct to identify the (re)discovered font with the listed 13th century one from the God’s Mercy church in the village of Pralin [sic]. Having juxtaposed the font with the latest pictures and artifact charters, the assumptions have been proven to be right. The rediscovered font is distinguished by a perculiar granite rim and bricks bonded with cement. As the artifact was moved to another parish in the early 1990s, the act is not liable to a penalty."
