I read your piece on objects bringing in spirits to your house.  Being a Greek Orthodox Christian, this is why we have the priest bless our house every year with the Holy Water from the epiphany service.  I can tell you objects can definitely carry spirits with them.  Many years ago, my Mom’s friend told her how weird things were happening in her house.  Pictures would fall off the walls, things would fall of tables, she’d hear strange sounds, etc.  She called a priest to bless her house and when he threw Holy water on a statue someone gave her, it cracked in half!  It was probably used in some cult ritual or something, unbeknownst to the friend that got it as a souvenir on vacation for her.  We have to be aware of these things and always pray for protection.

In Christ,

Mary
