Priest blesses it - it's associated with The Lord, therefore since God is Holy, then the water is Holy. I think it symbolizes The Living Water from God - we will live forever.

Nothing.
The conept of Holy Water came from a Celtic legend of druid descent. The Catholics adopted it as a doctrine when they took over the area.
That's also how worshipping saints, worshipping Mary, and many Catholic holidays came about.

I've heard that it's gas... It's said that all the priests spend hours and hours gathered around filled fonts, all farting through soda straws to bubble gas into the water until it's thought to have enough gas pockets in it , "holes" if you will...

To Bernie... Be happy for having this tiny bit of sadness. It's the first step taken toward letting go of the thing which causes your let down feeling.

A Priest waved his hands over it, and said it was holy water.

I used to really believe the "holy water" was holy.....now I don't know what "holy" means...do you? P.S. I was happier when I believed.

Power and authority.
Anything that is consecrated to God by those who have the divine power and authority to do so, might be made holy.

Magic words from the priest

It's no secret.
Salt is the "other" ingredient
and the blessings of the bishop, priest or deacon make it "holy."
