Why do Christian ministers bless water?

According to Leonard Hattingh, a church minister, water is blessed for holy acts such as holy baptism, which allows the Trinity to be placed upon and within it. Otherwise, it remains just water.

Leonard also told Briefly News:

"As ministers through the Holy Spirit, we believe and trust that through prayer and supplication, we call upon the Trinity, so that the person being blessed receives God and Jesus Christ."
