Blessed salt

Blessed salt has been used in various forms throughout the history of Christianity. Among early Christians, the savoring of blessed salt often took place along with baptism. In the fourth century, Augustine of Hippo named these practices "visible forms of invisible grace".^[1]^[2] However, its modern use as a sacramental remains mostly limited to its use with holy water within the Anglican Communion^[3] and Roman Catholic Church.
