Significance of Holy Water Sprinklers

Sprinkling holy water is an important practice in Orthodox Christian churches that signifies cleansing, protection from harm and blessing. Not only do priests sprinkle water on parishioners but also on places, objects and during important rites such as Baptism. While some communities use a special brush to sprinkle water, others use a specially designed vessel with holes in it to sprinkle water.
