ABSTRACT:
A support aid for use during a baptismal ceremony involving the total immersion of an individual within a pool of water includes a base positionable within the pool of water and a backless seat upon which the individual remains seated during the baptism process. A feet-engaging cross-bar member is attached to the base so that as the individual remains seated upon the seat, the individual's feet are hooked beneath the cross-bar member, and a grip section associated with the base provides a hand grip to which the individual may hold. As the individual leans rearwardly until his head and torso are totally immersed beneath the surface of the water and subsequently returns to an upright, seated orientation during the baptism process, the individual maintains his feet beneath the cross-bar and holds onto the hand grip in order to stabilize and support himself. The support aid also reduces the effort required to be expended by a party, such as a minister, who performs the baptismal process.
