Holy Water Fonts & Protective Hands – Religious Gift Ideas from Franco

In the past, nearly every home had a small holy water font, regularly refilled with blessed water from church processions or the local parish. In the morning, evening, or before leaving the house, people would cross themselves to invite God’s protection. This beautiful tradition is still cherished by many families today, especially with their children.

As a meaningful gift for births, baptisms, or first communions, many families present a so-called “protective hand” – placed on a nightstand or shelf, symbolizing God’s protective presence for the child.



The modern protective hands from Franco make wonderful religious gifts for children. They are available in 8 cm and 12 cm sizes and come in all common finishes. Depending on the child's gender, the hand holds either a small girl or a small boy.

To accompany them, Franco offers a 15 cm holy water font featuring a guardian angel leading a child by the hand. The font includes a plastic insert that perfectly fits the wooden bowl, keeping it safe from moisture.

For adults, Franco offers the Raffaello Angel, a detail from Raphael’s famous painting “Sistine Madonna” (1513) – a tribute to the Renaissance master. This version also includes a plastic insert to protect the carved wooden basin while holding holy water.
