Holy Water (聖水, Holy Water) is a small projectile thrown by Simon Belmont and Richter Belmont as one of their special moves. Upon make contact with the ground, the flask will burst, and create a pillar of fire similar to Arcfire. The Holy Water is thrown at an downward arc, and will deal a small amount of flame damage and knockback if the flask hits an opponent before it hits the ground.
Origin
In Castlevania games, candles can be destroyed to reveal items, one of which being Holy Water. As with other sub-weapons, usage of Holy Water requires hearts, which act as ammo. The protagonist can keep throwing Holy Water until they either run out of hearts, die, or collect another sub-weapon. Because Nintendo of America enforced censorship of religious material during the NES and SNES days, the item was renamed in North America to Fire Bomb.
In real life, holy water is water that has been blessed by a clergy member in a church for spiritual cleansing, baptism, or the warding off of evil.
