“ST. FRANCIS BLUE RIVER SPRAY”
In the Delta, people of African American descent often connected it with purity, clarity, cleansing, and protection, similar to that of “Holy Water.”
In the Delta, we kept it by the bed to keep the tricksters away while we slept, we kept it by the altar for some of the same reasons, we prayed the psalms over it as we cleaned with it, sprayed it very minimally over our feet, hands, body, crown.
