Holy Water is found at every Church entrance-no matter where in the world you may be! It is holy because it has been blessed by a priest. We, as Catholics use it to bless ourselves by dipping our fingers in it and making the sign of the cross as we enter into the Church. This action is a reminder of when we were blessed with the Holy Water at our Baptism. We also use Holy Water in the Sprinkling Rite- which we most often celebrate during the Easter season.
