Question:
May I use a normal bottle for holy water?
Answer:
Sure you may, but just make sure it is clean. There is no rule for storing holy water at home except that it be used reverently. Often a nice bottle or container is more beautiful than a cheap plastic bottle stamped with the words “Holy Water.” Such things may be useful, but they are not required.
In the liturgy, there is a vessel for holy water and a sprinkler as well, but this is not a domestic requirement. There are holy water fonts you can buy to hang on the wall, usually by a doorway, that make it easy to bless oneself. These are smaller versions of the ones we see in churches.
