In Christianity, The Bible suggests that one should anoint someone with oil when they are ill or unwell, and pray for them (among other things). The oil is called 'chrism' from the Greek meaning 'to anoint'. This is the root of the word 'Christ' - the 'Anointed One'. Anointing with oil was also used as a sign of Kingship.
