Why is holy water holy?

Holy services in churches use holy water. Many people also use it at home, for example, when treating patients. Scientists conducted a study of holy water and found out why it is sacred.

Why is holy water not spoiled?

Holy water acquires its unusual properties after the ritual of consecration. Some natural sources are also considered sacred - people come to them in order to collect medicinal water for the house. Once a year the water becomes holy in all natural springs, it happens on the Orthodox holiday of Epiphany - on January 19.

Scientists conducted studies of holy water from the holy source and from the church and found that it has electromagnetic parameters that are different from simple water, similar to those that emit an organism of healthy and full strength of man.

The fact that holy water does not deteriorate does not have an unambiguous scientific explanation. In some natural holy sources, the silver content is increased, which disinfects water and prevents it from deteriorating. However, in churches, water for consecration is taken from a conventional tap, but it too is long without signs of spoilage.

The answer to the question, why the holy water does not deteriorate, perhaps, is to change its structure. The molecular structure of holy water differs from the ordinary one. After freezing, the holy water forms perfect crystals, and the crystals of ordinary water can be vague, broken and uneven.

The power of holy water

People have long been using the power of holy water for healing from illnesses, protection from the effects of the external environment and strengthening the spirit. There are many cases of miraculous healing after bathing in the ice-hole on Epiphany. Bioenergetics noted that after using holy water in humans, the biological field is strengthened, its physical and energy indices are improved.

St. Seraphim of Sarov advised the sick people to take the consecrated water for one tablespoon every hour. He said that medicine is better than holy water, does not exist.
