I went to the water blessing ceremony (ESP/ENG) [VLOG]

Hola queridos amigos, hoy quisiera compartir con ustedes como estuvo la ceremonia a la que asistí el domingo en la iglesia. Me refiero a la ceremonia de bendición del agua. Para los que no lo sepan o no estén familiarizados con el mundo cristiano, esta es una tradición religiosa propia de la Semana Santa, y por lo general se lleva a cabo el Sábado de Gloria, pero por alguna razón, en la iglesia a la que yo asisto de vez en cuando la hacen los domingos de Resurrección. Ese día no fui a la misa matutina porque me levanté muy tarde, así que decidí ir a la misa de las cinco de la tarde, a pesar de que estaba lloviendo, pero no quería perderme la misa y mucho menos la ceremonia de la bendición del agua, así que tomé mi paraguas y salí rumbo a la iglesia.

Hello dear friends, today I would like to share with you how was the ceremony I attended on Sunday at the church. I am referring to the water blessing ceremony. For those of you who don't know or are not familiar with the Christian world, this is a religious tradition of Holy Week, and usually takes place on Easter Saturday, but for some reason, in the church I attend they do it from time to time on Easter Sundays. That day I didn't go to the morning mass because I got up very late, so I decided to go to the five o'clock mass, even though it was raining, but I didn't want to miss the mass and much less the ceremony of the blessing of the water, so I took my umbrella and went to the church.

I arrived a little late to the church but fortunately the mass had not started yet, only the band was playing their songs.

As the priest explained, the holy water is a symbol that represents our union with God through baptism, it reminds us that Jesus renews us through purification if we give him our life and faith. In the case of this church I attend, the ceremony takes place on Easter Sunday but I think it is even more beautiful that way because we also celebrate Jesus' victory over death. It is not that I consider myself an overly religious person, but I am a believer, from time to time I go to church and this fills me with peace, it makes me feel full, it is my moment of reflection and communion with God, it helps me to comfort me and remember the promises made by Jesus, which helps me to look at life with more energy and greater optimism, it is like food for the soul.

Obviously I took the pictures after the solemn moment, but for those who don't know, when it's time for the blessing all the people take their jars of water and raise them to receive the grace, while the priest recites words from the bible and reminds us that water is a sign of purification. It is nice to see all those people with their little jars full of water and their hearts full of faith, but one of the moments that I enjoy the most in the masses is when both acquaintances and strangers join in the embrace of peace, in that moment there is a vibrant aura of well-being and love for others.

For me it was a nice moment of spiritual renewal, it is like an energy recharge for me, I feel that it helps me to get rid of negativity, it motivates me to work to be a better person every day.

Thank you for joining me in this post, friends, for me it was a real pleasure 😉, I send you blessings and wish you a week full of personal and professional success 🤗.
