There are two Scriptures that reference oil on Aaron's Beard: Leviticus 8:12, "And he (Moses) poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to sanctify him." Aaron was set apart (sanctified) and anointed as high priest. The second Scripture is found in Psalm 133: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron...For there the Lord commanded the blessing - life forever more."

Why is holy chrism a symbol of anointing of the sick?
The symbolism of anointing with oil also signifies the Holy Spirit, to the point of becoming a synonym for the Holy Spirit. In Christian initiation, anointing is the sacramental sign of Confirmation, called "chrismation" in the Churches of the East. Its full force can be grasped only in relation to the primary anointing accomplished by the Holy Spirit, that of Jesus. Christ (in Hebrew "messiah") means the one "anointed" by God's Spirit. There were several anointed ones of the Lord in the Old Covenant, pre-eminently King David. But Jesus is God's Anointed in a unique way: the humanity the Son assumed was entirely anointed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit established him as "Christ." The Virgin Mary conceived Christ by the Holy Spirit who, through the angel, proclaimed him the Christ at his birth, and prompted Simeon to come to the temple to see the Christ of the Lord.~The Oil of Catechumens ("Oleum Catechumenorum" or "Oleum Sanctum") used in Baptism along with water, in the consecration of churches, in the blessing of Altars, in the ordination of priests, and, sometimes, in the crowning of Catholic kings and queens.The Holy Chrism ("Sanctum Chrisma") or "Oil of Gladness," which is olive oil mixed with a small amount of balm or balsam.

What is the description of The Bible?
The bible is a living word, it is alive and active and sharper than any two-edged sword. Only the Holy Spirit could achieve this - God commands - Jesus is the Word and the link to our world - the Holy Spirit is the activity of God everywhere; this is the trinity and it's separate functions. So men who were appointed and anointed by God [He anointed through His priests in the Old Testament] wrote the Word by the Spirit of God. That is why it is written by God, and is powerful in our lives.

Where was Jesus anointed?
No mortal man has the power or the authority to anoint Christ. John the baptist baptised with water only yet he himself inquired of Christ that surely he should be baptized by Christ. However as soon as Christ himself as a man was baptised with water the father in heaven sent the holy spirit via a dove which descended upon him and anointed him with the holy spirit. He was then tested for forty days by the devil and overcame and was strengthened by the comforter/ Holy spirit. Christ was a man up until he received the anointing of the holy spirit. After this point he did all things through his fathers name in heaven. It is from this point on that he performed miracles and preached the good news. He never claimed he did anything of himself.
Are the laying on of hands and anointing signs of the Holy Spirit's presence?
Yes, the laying on of hands and anointing with oil are seen as practices in some Christian traditions to invoke the presence and power of the Holy Spirit for healing, blessing, and empowerment. They are symbolic acts that represent an impartation of the Spirit's presence to the individual being touched or anointed.
