Roman Catholic AnswerOf great importance, but you have picked a rather wide topic, there are three consecrated or blessed Oils: the Oil of Catechumens, the Oil of the Sick, and the Sacred Chrism. They are used in the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Ordination, and Anointing of the Sick. There are numerous other ceremonies that call for anointing with oil, such as the blessing of bells, consecrating altars, consecrating chalices and patens used at Mass, etc.
When kings and queens are crowned, part of the coronation ceremony is to mark the forehead of the monarch with oil, often oil which has been sanctified in some way. A monarch who has been marked with oil in this way is said to be annointed, and to annoint is to mark with oil. In Greek, the oil for annointing was called "chrism"; the word "Christ" means "the annointed one", which gives you an idea how old the custom is.
