I wonder if there is a limit to how many times one can do that (diluting the last of the holy water…).

Yes. You can only dilute the water by 50%. IOW, if you have 10 oz of holy water, you can add another 10 oz of tap water to make 20 oz of holy water, but that’s all. You could not dilute it again after that.
 
No, no rules for containers…Holy Water balloons might be frowned on by many, though. 😀
 
I’m storing this year’s Theophany water in an old Four Roses bottle with the labels removed.

Don’t have a picture of mine, but this is what the bottle looks like:

I have this small Lourdes holy water bottle from Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville. There’s very little chance of my mistaking it for anything other than holy water 🙂

This is probably a very sad question, but is there a proper way to dispose of holy water if does become contaminated?

My sister gave me a small souvenir vial of it when she returned from a trip to Rome & it turned turbid within a few months, even though I had never opened it. I could not bring myself to use it.

My priest told me you can dump holy water on grass @edward_george1 is this right?

That is correct. Anywhere on natural ground works—grass, flower bed, etc.

Or if you want to put it to good use, take it to the Catholic cemetery and pour it on graves.
I’d even pour it on non-Catholic Graves of my relatives, but some people object to that.

No no no…you’re thinking of Four Roses as it formerly was.

The pictured bottle is Four Roses Single Barrel. It’s 100 proof and has a rich, almost cherry-like taste. Not for the faint of heart.

I can attest to this being a fantastic bourbon. I’m more of a scotch drinker, but Four Roses Single Barrel is easily in my top five favorite whiskeys.

And as Father said, drink it neat or try it with a few drops of water. Whiskey is too precious to dilute.
 
I never actually went there. I ordered it through the mail. I hope you’re able to go, though.

Then you should go try some of “Uncle Bob’s Bearkiller” It’s Double Barrel, Double Ought and is definitely NOT for the “feint” of heart.

So we’ve talked about sacred holy water and Irish holy water; has anyone here ever used blessed and exorcised salt? I like to throw some in my soups and stews sometimes.
