you have to be a priest or one of religious importance to do so, but they say prayers over the water and they believe that god himself blesses it.

How do you bless something?
Someone here posted that you can't bless something - they are wrong. You can. You need holy water. You can make holy water by saying a quick player over it, and ... well blessing the water. Believe it or not - when I was a young chap I asked the same thing to a nun - and this is what she told me. I was pressing her to a point about how to baptize someone when they are dying, and you have no holy water around - she told me to even use... saliva.... i don't know if she was just sick of my questions... but yeah. Then you simply say - I bless you, in the name of the Father and the Son and the holy Spirit. Now how accurate this is... not sure - but its as much as I know and it was a nun that directed me on this.
What do they use to put holy water in?
Holy water is usually kept in the Baptismal font, also, there is usually a large urn in most Catholic Churches to hold holy water for the people who want some. They put it in holy water bottles that they bring in with them. The Church has small fonts (small dishes attached to the wall) by each door for people to bless themselves as they come into the Church. For the beginning of Mass, or any other time that the priest wishes to bless everyone with holy water, he will have a handled bucket into which he puts the aspergill (looks like a hollow microphone) that he uses to sprinkle the people with holy water.
