Though the ritual may vary from religions the idea of purification is to remove some form of spiritual evil or taboo.

Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic religion, purification has a very specific meaning, it means that you are removing any trace of the Precious Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord from the Paten and Chalice after they have been used at Mass. They are ritually purified by rinsing with water (which is consumed by the priest) and then dried with a linen towel called a purificator.
