Oh, and remember your Holy Water!

Deyim, Deyim!

The Maronite & Melkite greeting for Epiphany. It translates to “Everlasting, Everlating!”.
 
You know what? I did the exact same thing last year! I thought saying “Holy Water” - even though that is NOT correct - would somehow be helpful for Latin Rite Catholics who were participating in the Theophany thread. I shouldn’t have done that. ☹️
 
Yes. If one cannot qualify for receiving the Eucharist for whatever reason however is practicing the faith one receives the Theophany Water instead (similar rules, must be drunk on an empty stomach, however there are no required prayers before and after receiving it).

Could he have possibly said that in the Liturgical Calendar, Theophany is the second most important date (with Pascha being the most important)?

Our Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest told us that in his homily!
 
How did your pastor instruct you to dispose of it reverently? I have a plastic water bottle (it once had spring water in it - the kind that you get in the grocery store, not a holy water bottle) that I filled with Theophany Water last year. I don’t want to use it this year and can’t bear to put it in recycling.
 
When I was little my parents would always give me Theophany Water or holy water from St. Anne’s shrine in Canada when I was sick.

So how long should one wait after eating to have Theophany Water if similar rules apply?
 
@dochawk, @Margaret_Ann, @George720 and others, what do you do with the sanctified water you take home from Theophany?

ZP
 
I take a little before going to bed at night and pray while taking it.

mostly, place it on a shelf.

I guess we keep last year’s for another year, as we got sick and couldn’t make it this year.

I suppose eventually I’ll open the container so that it can evaporate.
 
We keep ours in the refrigerator and drink a little bit either in the morning or before bed.

😫😱!!!

Our priest said that Theophany Water keeps for a long time and is still good vs tap water which is cloudy.
