The baptism took place at All Saints Church in Okehampton.
A baby born in the UK was baptized in a font made from Lego, as reported by the BBC.
The baptism took place at All Saints Church in Okehampton, which is part of the Lego Church initiative. In 2021, Lego Church was established to make the church more accessible to children, according to the outlet.
The couple, Agnhus and Michelle Farrelly, christened their two-month-old son Oliver in a font made from Lego bricks.
Talking to the BBC, Ms. Farrelly said Lego brings people together and encourages people of all ages to learn and pray together. She further added that she “wanted our Lego church families to share this part of the Christian faith and for many it would be the first opportunity to witness and experience a baptism”.
Reverend Prebendary Stephen Cook, team principal of the Northmoor Mission Community, also spoke to the outlet and said: “The timing and accessibility of Lego Church has proven to be a winning combination.”
He continued, “Most of our regular Lego Church people aren’t churchgoers, and we interact with a wide variety of parents, carers and children.”

Lego Church is a concept that originated in the United States of America and only recently made its debut in the UK. The Lego Church is not like any other church. When visitors arrive, there’s plenty of Lego to choose from and they can build whatever they want.
According to a local website, the pastor said there will be some drinks and food and a bible story. “Then (we) go back to the tables and try to build something that the story reminds us of. Then we show everyone what we made and if possible say why we made it. Then we pray and we pack, he added.
