anointing oils

Consecration liquid blends

Anointing oils are fragrant oils used in religious ceremonies to consecrate people or objects.

In Christian traditions, anointing oil is applied to the sick, the dying, or those being ordained.

The practice appears throughout the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, where oil symbolizes divine blessing and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The priest blessed the anointing oils before the service.
