Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces. Water is considered a purifier in most religions. Major faiths that incorporate ritual washing (ablution) include Christianity
