So in a strange turn of events, the subject of Holy Water came up IRL recently and it got me thinking. I'm a few million miles away from my Catholic upbringing, and never really learned about Protestant practices. So questions, I guess, for my erudite frens:
Is Holy Water a Catholic only thing? If so, how do I obtain it from a truly Godly source? I know the local Catholic church I have passing familiarity with is... Questionable in it's Heart. And I have a feeling buying it from Lourdes is tantamount to blasphemy.
Any advice would be helpful; this idea just popped into my timeline and I feel compelled to pursue it. 100% serious and sincere.
P.s. Think Mirror? Vampires. Etc.
Thanks in advance, yours in Christ.
I don't have it memorized, check the bible. It's cinnamon, myrrh, olive oil, and something else. One of the ingredients was mistranslated to english and it's believed it was originally cannabis. And all liquids contain water, even oil.
Frankincense
Maybe frankincense?
looked it up, it's cassia. And kaneh-bosem is believed now to be cannabis, but was translated early on as calamus, which has no healing properties.
