Coming into the Catholic Church, you will observe that at the entrance of the church there’s a small vessel (called font) which contains water and everyone entering the church, dips his hands inside the water and make sign of the cross. When a Priest wants to start the mass, he at times sprinkles water on the congregations(known as Aspersions) using a brush called Aspergill or Aspergillum before he resumes and lastly when he wants to bless a sacramental, we see him sprinkle water on it. The water the Priest sprinkles is called Holy water.



These practice has existed in the Catholic Church for many centuries and the use of water for religious purposes can be traced back to the scriptures.



We have been observing the practice of using holy water, but many of us don’t know the reason why we use it. This video  contains everything you need to know about the Holy water and why Catholics use it.
