The entry for this church in Stiftung zur Bewahrung kirchlicher Baudenkmäler in Deutschland [https://www.stiftung-kiba.de/kirchen/st-lucia-zschepplin] [accessed 9 February 2025] mentions and illustrates a remarkable baptismal font by Heinrich Pilgram von Ende ["Im Inneren ist ein prächtiger Taufstein von Heinrich Pilgram von Ende"]. The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Lucia_(Zschepplin)] [accessed 9 February 2025] reports an elaborate sandstone baptismal font from ca. 1570; it consists of a basin decorated with four scenes: the Crossing of the Red Sea, the Circumcision and Baptism of Christ, and the Blessing of the Children; between the scenes are cartouches with the arms of the von Ende Family; on the base putti hold coats of arms, while the central shaft is decorated with foliage ["Die aufwändige Taufe aus Sandstein stammt aus der Zeit um 1570, am Fuß sind Putten mit Wappenschilden, am Schaft Blattwerk und an der Kuppa vier figurenreiche Reliefs mit einer Darstellung der Beschneidung, des Zugs durch das Rote Meer, der Segnung der Kinder durch Jesus und der Taufe Christi angeordnet, dazwischen Kartuschen mit Wappen der Familie von Ende."]
