Other than the fact that it’s blessed on Easter, is Easter water any different from regular holy water?
 
**Easter Water **

I can’t leave this topic without mentioning a special kind of holy water: Easter water. This is the water that is blessed on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter) and is used to baptize Catechumens. This water receives a more solemn sort of blessing than “regular holy water,” and the Easter Candle is dipped into it three times. (Mind you, any clean water can be used in Baptism, and often is, as in cases of emergency; but the use of Easter water is the normal way of doing things).
