Pictures of Molecular ‘Changes’ in Holy Water?

The following shows ‘molecular’ changes in water before and after a blessing of changing it into Holy Water. I found this on the Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Mary Holy Assumption in Stamford, CT website. I posted their original story with edits to make it more legible for our readers. I am not a scientist and am unable to confirm to what degree the accuracy of their post.

[Fellow TAC writer and friend Donald has information that debunks the idea of a 'physical change' in water after being blessed here.] 

Here’s water from different sources usually used. Take a close look at the water structure.

It again becomes incorrupt, not spoiling, remaining transparent and fresh for a long time. This Holy Water receives the grace to heal illnesses, to drive away demons and every evil power, to preserve people and their dwellings from danger, to sanctify various objects whether for church or home use.

Here’s crystals of water from the same sources (as shown above) after it was blessed.
