In the Old Testament, when someone was anointed to become a priest or a king, etc, they had oil poured on their head "and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon [them] from that day forward" (1 Samuel 16:13). In Confirmation, the chrism does much the same. "1289 Very early, the better to signify the gift of the Holy Spirit, an anointing with perfumed oil (chrism) was added to the laying on of hands. This anointing highlights the name "Christian," which means "anointed" and derives from that of Christ himself whom God "anointed with the Holy Spirit."100 This rite of anointing has continued ever since, in both East and West. For this reason the Eastern Churches call this sacrament Chrismation, anointing with chrism, or myron which means "chrism." In the West, the term Confirmation suggests that this sacrament both confirms and strengthens baptismal grace. " ~Catechism of the Catholic Church
