Palms are lifted so that the priest can circulate through the Church sprinkling them with Holy Water and thus, blessing them.

No I know what he is referring too. There is no holy water being sprinkled. It happens during the Our Father.

What's the name of your church? Is it even Catholic? I've never heard of such nonsense.
