DescriptionClosed font - Resurrection Chapel - National Cathedral - DC.JPG
English: Baptismal font in the Resurrection Chapel under the south transept on the crypt level of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Resurrection Chapel is in the Norman style. It was completed on June 15, 1925. The chapel began construction under Bishop Alfred Harding, the second Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C. But Harding died in 1923 -- just two years before the chapel was completed. Harding's family contributed a large sum of money to have the chapel completed, and asked that the chapel celebrate life rather than death. Hence, the chapel became known as the Resurrection Chapel.
The baptismal font in Resurrection Chapel is also in memory of Harding. Carved from buff Indiana limestone, it was designed by architect Philip Hubert Frohman and carved by Edward Ratti.
