FAQs! Why do we bless ourselves with Holy Water?

From the earliest days of Christianity (and even earlier, in Judaism and other ancient religions), water was used in baptismal rituals as a symbol of life and cleansing. Today, when Catholics sprinkle themselves from the little bowls of holy water at the church door, making the sign of the cross, they do so as a reminder of their baptism. The holy water itself is simply water that has been blessed by a priest.
