baptismal water
Sacred immersion fluid
Water that has been blessed for use in the Christian sacrament of baptism.
In most traditions, a priest or minister consecrates ordinary water through prayer, making it suitable for the ritual cleansing that symbolizes spiritual rebirth and entry into the faith.
Some churches maintain a baptismal font containing such water; others bless it fresh for each ceremony.
