Blessed SaltSalt, with its preservative properties, had always been seen as precious in the ancient world. Its first recorded sacramental use was by Eliseus, and it is now used sacramentally in a number of ways in the Church: first, like water, it is blessed and an exorcism is done over it. Then it is given to those being baptized, used in the preparation of Holy Water, and used by the faithful in everyday use -- from the use of blessed salt in cooking, to the sprinkling of blessed salt around rooms, doorways, yards, etc. Because of its exorcism and blessing, it is a powerful sacramental in keeping away demons. To obtain blessed salt, just take ordinary salt to your priest and ask him to bless it. |
