We will remind, earlier “MK in Tula” wrote that Tulas were allowed to give children holy water and dilute it with ordinary. Recommendations on this subject were given in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra; there they told about the history of the holy spring, and also explained how to properly receive and store consecrated water.
Tulyakam, for example, reminded that holy water is considered one of the shrines to which Orthodox believers turn. The Lavra noted that water is consecrated during a special church rite not only on the days of big holidays, but also throughout the year.
