Liturgy Metaliturgy – Holy Anointing: The importance of using the oiltranslated

July 9, 2026 · 1 min read

One of the most beloved Holy Mysteries is the Holy Blessing Oil. The oil of the Holy Wish is a blessed gift of the Church and a symbol of God's love, mercy and healing grace. The Holy Blessing Oil is performed for the healing of the sick, the forgiveness of sins and the empowerment of man in the struggle of life. The sanctified oil reminds us that Christ is the true Physician of souls and bodies and that His grace acts through the Holy Mysteries of the Church, Protopresbyter Themistocles Christodoulou tells us in the show Liturgy MetaLiturgia.
