    Description: 
    Monumental fountain in a church courtyard. Water must travel over fifty feet throughout the fountain before it reaches its final destination, a triangular shaped pool, which represents the Holy Trinity. Water originates from a baptismal font on whose pedestal is inscribed four crosses. It then flows down a stepped brick wall, is funneled into a gutter which runs along the courtyard wall, and trickles down stairs into the triangular pool. At the end of the pool is a relief depicting columns, arches, and two cherubim. The relief was once part of an alter used in the church. Structure represents life cycle, from baptism to salvation.
