Sami Silver in The Church Room
The baptismal font is joined together with a triangle in reindeer horn - The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In the bowl there are two Sami angels, the water is filled to the feet of the angels at baptism. The birch roots symbolize life. One is red - symbolizes blood and love. The text "Tryggare kan ingen vara" (form the song Children of the heavenly Father) is around the bowl is in Sami and Swedish.

Ichtys
The early Christians in Rome did not dare to use the cross as a symbol at risk of persecution. Instead, they used the fish as a symbol. The Greek word for fish, ichtys, was then interpreted as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior.
The fish is not only a symbol of Christ but also a symbol of the Christian man. Just as the fish swims in the sea, the Christian lives in his baptism.
