Holy Water Sprinklers

Holy water sprinklers, also called aspergilla (singular: aspergillum), are used in the Catholic Church to sprinkle holy water during certain rites and blessings. Most commonly, they're used during the Asperges rite at the beginning of Mass, funerals, and other blessings to remind the faithful of their baptism and spiritual cleansing. The act of sprinkling holy water is a visible sign of purification, protection from evil, and the sanctifying grace of God.
