Durring the Mass, in specific, at the beginning part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the priest receives the Bread and Wine from the Comunity. when the alter is "Dressed" that is, the alter is all prepared for the Liturgy, the Priest takes the Bread and prayes over it. he does the same thing for the wine. then, after wards, he asks God to clean the priest of all his sins, so the priest is pure enough to concecrate the bread and wine and turn them into the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

∙ 12y agoIn the early days of the Church, offerings brought to the altar may have included such things as fruits, vegetables and even live animals as few people had actual cash. Washing of the hands before the beginning of the consecration was a necessity. Today the washing is primarily symbolic.

Can any priest bless a sacramental?
Yes and no. The question is like asking whether any priest can say the Mass, he can, but only according to the rite in which he was ordained. Sacramentals are similar in that every priest can bless them, however, there are some sacramentals that are specific to certain priests and their religious orders. All priests have a ritual that contains the basic prayers and blessing for sacramentals. Most everything has a blessing for it, some even have very specific blessings. There are, however, certain sacramentals that have specific blessings that are ordinary only given by the priests of specific orders. For instance, any priest can bless a rosary, but if a Dominican monk/priest blesses a rosary, he can give the blessing proper of his order which carries special indulgences. Any priest can bless a crucifix, but if it is a Benedictine crucifix there is a special blessing that a Benedictine monk/priest can attach to it. Ordinary parish priests, or priests from other congregations, can actively seek to be invested with the privilege of being able to give these special blessings from the order itself, or, the order may issue a dispensation granting a specific group if not all priests to be able to bless certain sacramentals according to their blessing.

What did priests do to scare away demons?
Priests will bless your house. Tip: if there are demons/spirits in your home, don't talk about it because this will encourage them to stay. <3 CoPz LoVeR <3 Another Answer: It depends on what kind of priest you are talking about. Japanese priests and priestess uses herbs and noise and chants. Christian priests recite the bible and bless the house. Pagan priests and priestesses use ritual, herbs, noise, chants, salts, chalk, and a range of other things. And about the tip: No matter if you think about a demon or spirit, they are still there and they will not go away unless you deal with them. Ignoring them only makes things escalate. Pretending a loaded gun in a desk drawer doesnt mean the gun goes away or is any less dangerous. And, typically, a house blessing will also make things worse.
