| | Holy Water Fonts |
| | Holy water fonts are found in every Church, and often the Priest celebrating the Mass will perform Asperges, or the sprinkling of the faithful. | | | The most common type of holy water is that which is blessed by the priest for the sprinkling of the people before Mass and for placement in the fonts at the doors of the church. | | | In many Churches, a clerk was appointed to sprinkle the faithful with holy water as they entered the Church, and ultimately in the 9th century, Pope Leo VI deemed that on each Sunday priests would bless holy water and deliver asperges. |

| | Holy Water |
| | A priest or priestess may consecrate or bless water to make it holy, but the water should first be pure and free of contaminants. | | | For potent holy water, if it is carried within a holy font, or on the person of a cleric, holy warrior, or similarly holy entity, each month roll 1d6, and only a result of a 1 will indicate defilement and corruption of water and container. | | | The largest problem with holy water is keeping it sanctified, pure, or holy, and thus free of outside influences that may easily corrupt or pollute its holy nature. |

| | In the Middle Ages holy water was held in such respect that it was not even taken from the font unless by means of an aspersorium or holy water sprinkler, attached by a small chain. | | | Valves of the tridacna gigas are used as holy water stoups in the church of Saint-Sulpice at Paris, the Republic of Venice having presented them to Francis I. | | | Stationary holy water fonts, usually made of bronze, marble, granite, or any other solid stone, and also of terra-cotta, consist of a small tub or basin sometimes detached or resting on a base or pedicle, sometimes imbedded in the wall or in one of the pillars of the church. |
