Holy oil

Holy oil, also known as chrism or sacred anointing oil, is a consecrated liquid used in various religious ceremonies. Created by blending fragrant oils, it symbolizes the divine presence, blessing, and empowerment. In many traditions, it is applied during rituals such as baptisms, confirmations, ordinations, and anointing of the sick to invoke God's grace and protection. The oil serves as a spiritual tool that signifies purification, dedication, and the bestowal of spiritual strength, fostering a sense of sacred connection between the individual and the divine.
