The water collected after the Divine Liturgy on January 18 is called Epiphany, and on January 19 …
Is the water consecrated on the day of Epiphany and on Epiphany Eve different in its properties?
The water collected after the Divine Liturgy on January 18 is called Epiphany, and the water collected on January 19 after the Divine Liturgy is called Epiphany. But the rite of the Great Consecration of Water (Great Agiasma) is read over water the same, therefore its properties are the same.
It is advisable to confess, defend the liturgy and take communion, and only then collect water. It is necessary to treat it carefully, it is impermissible to put a container of water on the ground and even at home on the floor on the way from the temple. This can only be done if the water is still in the bag or bag. It is better to store water near icons, but you can cover it with a cape from prying eyes. And if this is inconvenient, put it on a shelf in the cabinet and you can put a small icon next to it. Drink water on an empty stomach in small doses. At the same time, it is good to read a prayer for the acceptance of Holy water:
“O Lord my God, may Thy holy gift and Thy holy water be for the remission of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my soul and body, for the health of my soul and body, for the conquest of my passions and weaknesses through Thy infinite mercy by prayers Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy saints. Amen.
But for whom it is difficult to remember, you can take a sip and mentally say:
"In the name of the Father," the second sip "and the Son," the third sip "and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
