Question

Unlike the “greater” blessing that takes place on Theophany, Mary is heavily invoked during this substance’s “lesser” blessing in Orthodox churches. In modern times, an aspergillum (“as-PER-jill-uhm”) delivers this substance (20[3])instead of a hyssop (20[1])(“HISS-up”) branch. (20[2]10[1])Exorcized salt is added (20[1])in a (*) cross pattern when creating (10[1])this substance, (10[1])which wards off misfortune (10[2])when spread (10[2])during (10[1])automobile and house blessings.
