EN: to have something blessed (with holy water)
The more specific, "on-the-go" version of 'pabendisyunan'. This is the quick blessing. You bring your new Sto. Niño statue or your car to the church office, and the priest does a quick sprinkle of 'bendita' (holy water). It's the "express lane" for blessings. Less formal than a full house blessing ceremony.
From `pa-` (to ask someone to do) + `bendita` (holy water), from Spanish `(agua) bendita`.
ROOT MEANING: holy water
Synonymous with `pabendisyunan` in many contexts, but specifically implies the use of holy water (`bendita`).
