A piscina is a shallow basin or sink found in a church, specifically designed for washing sacred vessels used during religious ceremonies. Typically located near the altar or in the storage area for religious items, this feature is often made of stone or marble and may be elaborately decorated. The piscina allows for the disposal of water and other substances in a respectful manner, ensuring that they do not contaminate other areas of the church. It serves a practical purpose while also reflecting the church's emphasis on cleanliness and reverence in the handling of sacred objects.
