The three oils (catechumens, sick, chrism) are blessd by a bishop in Holy Week. The Chrism oil is used on Easter for newly Baptized or Confirmed at that Mass.
The chrism oil is usually blessed by the bishop at a special mass during Holy Week, before Holy Thursday. In my diocese, it is being blessed today - Holy Tuesday.
Some holidays that are traditionally celebrated with chocolate and flowers are Valentines day, Easter and Christmas. Mother's day is also another holiday typically celebrated with flowers.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Bishop blesses the oil of the sick, and the oil of Catechumens and consecrates the Sacred Chrism at the Chrism Mass each year. The Chrism Mass is to be held in the morning of Holy Thursday during Holy Week, but may be moved to an earlier day if it is impossible for all the priests of the diocese to attend and still make it back to their individual parishes for the Mass of the Lord's Supper in the evening.
