These statues are behind the altar in the Trinity Cathedral here in Cherbourg. This depicts the baptism of Christ by John the Baptist, with the Holy Ghost descending as a dove. There is a small baptismal font in this church dating from the 1500s, presumably for people to stand in while the water was poured on their heads.
