What makes it holy? What does it represent?

Holy Water is a sacramental.
Sacramentals are sacred signs that help us live holy lives. Although they do not produce sanctifying grace
Sacramentals include blessings of persons, meals, objects (including water), and places.
The priest blesses the congregation during Mass.
Christians bless their meals. "Bless us O Lord and these thy gifts, ..."
Priests bless water, animals, ships, homes, and even automobiles. "God bless this home and all those who enter here."
With love in Christ.

Holy water is blessed by a bishop during Easter time each year.
Ever since old testament times, water has been used for purification.
Same thing today, with holy water.
