ВОДА СВЯТАЯ

The cross in Christ and Christ on the cross: the cross is the image of the crucified Christ, the Son of God, therefore both its sign and its single shadow are terrible for demons as a sign of Christ, as the shadow of Him, the Crucified. Therefore, it is very important to immerse the cross in water and consecrate it; Because of this, it is healing and drives away demons (7). Those who touched the Savior's clothes were healed. Why are those who now use holy water with faith healed? The cross, immersed in water with the prayer of faith, is, as it were, the life-giving Lord Himself. Just as the Savior’s clothes were imbued with His life, so the water into which the life-giving cross is immersed is itself imbued with life. That is why it is healing (7).
