blessed oil
Consecrated anointing liquid
Blessed oil is oil that has been consecrated through religious ritual, typically by a priest or minister.
In Catholic and Orthodox traditions, blessed oils include chrism (used in baptism, confirmation, and ordination), oil of catechumens, and oil of the sick for anointing.
Other Christian denominations and some non-Christian traditions also use oils blessed for healing, protection, or spiritual purposes: The priest anointed her forehead with blessed oil.
