**I hear about eating the wafer and drinking the grape from the cup but never about drinking the water only sprinkling or dipping in the water, why is that? Does any Church practice that covenant?**

First correction — the consecrated bread is called a host.

Have you ever attended a Catholic Mass?

WATER is poured into the wine (historically it was used to cut the strongness of the wine) by the priest. Words said by the priest refer to uniting the blood and the wine with the spiritual/divine and physical/humanity of Christ.

So this is what Christ was referring to in John 4:13? If so why is the grape needed or why didn't He mention it to the woman at the well?

You use the word (historically) is it still done today?

Thank you for putting up with my questions.
