Sacred anointing

Sacred anointing is a religious ritual where a person is anointed with special oil to set them apart for a divine purpose or to invoke spiritual blessing. It symbolizes consecration, healing, or empowerment, often marking significant moments like ordination, baptism, or healing. The oil represents the Holy Spirit’s presence and grace, signifying purification, commitment, and the calling to serve or lead within a faith community. This practice has deep roots in many religious traditions and emphasizes a sacred connection between the individual and the divine.
