  1. When people get Easter Water in the church during Easter, they keep some of it for seven years, and each year they add some Easter Water until the seven years are up. Then there is a cure in the water of the seven years for a sore or sickness.
    People never throw away holy water, if they want to do away with it, they would burn it.
