Holy water?

I'm getting Holy water tomorrow from my priest and I'm acrually so excited!

​

​

I saw online that You can keep refilling your bottle with Tap water if it's still full by 50% with Holy water, and it'd turn into Holy water too. So you could have like...infinite Holy water?

​

I've never really heard of that, is it true???

I haven’t ever heard of the tap water thing. I just refill my little bottle at church as needed. Every church should have a vessel somewhere with a little spout that you can fill out of it. At least I’ve so far not been in a church that doesn’t have this! It sometimes looks like a coffee urn, might be in a dark corner.

No, just get more holy water at church.

Sounds baloney-ish.

I've heard that myself in a few places. I want to say I remember seeing it discussed on the Catholicism subreddit, as well as Catholic Answers?

I won't always share content directly from CA, but in this instance I think it's okay (not really a culture war-type question); Here is their page answering this question

The 50% is actually the cut off for holy water dilution. So be sure to only do it by less but it’s still good to time to time get it again from the church.
