Every Saturday evening without fail at my local Catholic parish, I see an older parishioner fill up 5-6 empty Holy Water Bottles from the Baptismal fount at the back of the Church. After Mass, she takes these flasks home with her in a bag on her bicycle.
Holy Water is a sacramental, which means it is water which has been blessed by a Priest or another member of the clergy. For centuries, Catholic saints have written about Holy Water as a protection against evil. Holy Water is also sprinkled on the Faithful to remind them of their baptism, and is a symbol of the cleansing of venial sin, when the faithful dip their hands into the Holy Water containers as they enter and exit Mass.
Buy Religious offers a variety of Holy Water bottles and containers which are suitable for use at Church and at your home.
