ON ORTHODOX EASTER (JULIAN CALENDAR) HOLY WATER IS
DRUNK AFTER MORNING SERVICES. IF THE WATER IS DRUNK
IT IS SUPPOSED TO CLEANSE THE SOUL.

Submitter comment: ALTHOUGH I DO NOT BELIEVE HOLY WATER CLEANSES THE
SOUL, A BOTTLE OF THIS WATER IS KEPT IN OUR HOME
FROM EASTER ON. IF IT IS NOT USED, IT IS MERELY
EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER NEXT YEAR.
