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?

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.
