In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, chrism oil is used by the celebrating bishop to christen the palms of the newly ordained ministers.
Two symbols of Holy Orders are the chrism oil,used in the annointing of the hands; and the chasibule, the outermost liturgical estment worn by a priest or bishop during the Holy Mass.
Catholic AnswerThere are four sacraments which use Holy Oils: BAPTISM ( Oil of Catechumens, Sacred Chrism)CONFIRMATION (Sacred Chrism)HOLY ORDERS (Sacred Chrism)ANOINTING OF SICK (Oil of the sick)
They are actually the same thing, known as Crism Oil.
It is a symbol of their faith
That is the symbol or shorthand way of writing his title of Bishop.
Presentation of the candidateThe names of everybody to be confirmed are read out. Each one stands up so everyone can see and then goes to the Bishop at the front.The Renewal of Baptismal PromisesEach candidate is asked questions about what they believe. They promise to reject evil. These promises are like an enrolment in to the Catholic Church. It is a bit like joining a club, except that the promises affect the whole of a person's life.The Laying on of HandsThe Bishop lays his hands on each of the candidates. This is to show them that they have the special job of living like Jesus would want and showing other people how to do the same. The hands are a symbol of the power and strength that will come to them through the Holy Spirit.The Anointing with ChrismThe Bishop says the candidate's name. This can be a special confirmation name (normally a saint's name) or the name they usually use.The Bishop then draws the sign of the cross on the forehead of the candidate with the oil of chrism. This oil is an ancient sign of being chosen by God. It is also used in baptism. The sign of the cross shows that the candidate is a child of God. Oil can be used to heal or to give strength.
OK, so I may not be the smartest girl on earth, but what I do know is that the Holy Spirit is the main symbol of Confirmation. On every picture that I have ever seen, there was a Holy Spirit in the picture. It looks like the Holy Spirit is bringing down fire. I never really learned what the MAIN symbol of Confirmation is, but I have never seen a picture of Confirmation without the Holy Spirit in it. Like I said before, I'm not that smart, but I'm smart enough to know that much...so hope this was a little helpful...Peace!!! :b <3
