On one of my early trips to visit my wife parents in Bicol her grandmother passed away while we were there. So we ended up staying for the wake, funeral etc. On the night of the wake the party was in full flow around the white box containing her grandmothers body, when the local priest began some kind of service. He said a few prayers. We all said a few prayers, and then he blessed a vessel full of holy water which was passed between us guests to sprinkle upon the white box! My turn was third I think, and unfortunately I sprinkled a little to hard causing the top to come off and about one litre of holy water to gush all over the white box and the priest!
The adults in the room looked horrified and the kids tried their best to control their laughter. I just passed the now empty vessel of holy water back to the priest for him to refil it, trying to look very serious but inside trying my best not to burst out laughing!
