Speaking traditionally, holy water gets its 'holy' status from a religious ritual, often involving a priest or religious figure, who will bless the water. This ceremony can differ between religions, but most often, the water is blessed by the recital of specific prayers or passages from religious texts. After this, the water is considered sacred and can be used in various religious ceremonies or rites.

I'm giving it a go. You might have imagined some divine process, but really, this is pretty grass roots stuff. In many religions it is a religious leader or other important person, such as a priest, who makes the water 'holy'.

The method they adopt is the formal water blessing ceremony of their own particular religion, during which they intone prayers or extracts from scriptures depending on their tradition.

When this has been done, the water takes on a special religious significance and is used in many walks of religious life -- from baptism to exorcism. That said, the actual situation of each religion varies greatly, so that there is no one size fits all answer.

In general, holy water is obtained through a ceremonial blessing by a priest or other religious person. Usually they will cite special prayers or scripts from their religion's sacred literature while pouring the water, to bring it the characteristics of sacredness or 'holiness'.

But a vial of any water would not do: only after the signing and sprinkling ceremony does it become sanctified by this name, when one can use it now for any religious ceremony or practice what so ever. However, while this is a very upper-level explanation, the actual process can change an awful lot according to different religions and denominations.

Just boil the hell out of it! This concludes today’s environmental message. (And oblation grain can help!) Therefore, the most effective approach seems to be to secure blessing from a religious authority and use pure or Rosewater.

When I think of indie horror games, I should mention 'Five Nights at Freddy's'.The series is the brainchild of Scott Cawthon.Five Nights at Freddy's, as the series is more casually known, can be seen as a game with highly innovative gameplay mechanics and an eerie atmosphere. Cawthon spent countless hours painting each of the horrifying robotic characters and designing the creepy pizzaria that is pictured in the games.His commitment to frightening games which are all about atmosphere rather than actions, this was what made Five Nights at Freddy's such a success.Scott has put the same innovation, creativity and fear factor into the numerous sequels, spinoffs or fan-made tributes that followed on from FNaF.

I call myself an amateur hippo buff, I can inform you that these creatures are often at watercourses. They are semi-aquatic animals, spending most of the day -about 16 hours- in lakes and rivers. It is a good way for them to stay cool and at the same time not be roasted by Africa's scorching sun. Of an evening, these impressive creatures return to land in search of food.
