Hey! I don’t know if it’s a silly question - but is it possible to make your own holy water at home? I know you need sacred salt and some salt water? - Or do you have to get some from your local priest?

God bless! +
 
Get it from the parish. Some places have a special container with a spigot, some places you just have to dip your bottle in the font. Ask your parish priest where to fill your bottle.
 
most churches will fill it for you if on off hours, or you can take some from the basin near the entrance to the church.

here in canada our church added something to the holy water since west nile and avian flu started showing up that it has a odar to it like chlorine, or something, or maybe they do add salt and i never noticed it until it was in a bottle.
 
sorry, cant make it at home! Only the ordained know the recipe 🙂
 
You certainly can. First you take ordinary water…

…and then you boil the Hell out of it!

:rolleyes:

This is your first post here and I detect an urgent tone…are you out to kill some vampires OP?

Interesting. In the show Supernatural, one of the episodes showed Dean, a lead role-character, making a bunch of regular water become Holy Water. He said some sort of prayer, and then dropped a Rosary into the the water. It worked, too, because when a person possessed by a demon was all of a sudden flooded by the water, the possessed person starting goin’ crazy wild, from the (Holy) pain. 😛

But, it was just for show…I don’t believe that’s actually how it’s done. 😛

Shows like that are dangerous ground. That is not how holy water is “made.” Those shows are completely fake in every aspect.

It’s interesting, though, isn’t it? Hollywood (and society) still holds onto a vestigial belief in holy water and its effectiveness, yet, they do not want to fully embrace it. That would require them to embrace the notion of the priesthood and of sacramentality. For them, that’s a bridge too far.

So, instead, you get a mythologized version of holy water.
 
Oh, no! 🙂 I am not about to kill vampires 😉

I just like to have holy water at my home for blessings 🙂
