Actually, that depends on which explanation you're using for why a cross works. If you're a devout Christian, it's obvious. If not, I offer you the fact that, long before Christianity, the cross was a pagan symbol for the Sun.
In fact, in the first few centuries AD, the church tried to ban crosses on graves for that very reason -- the preferred symbol was the fish.
I could further speculate that there's a spell that infuses pagan solar cross-power into water, tricked out with bells and whistles to disguise it as a Catholic ritual.
