Oil is commonly used in The Bible to "anoint" those whom God has ordained. I think the word you are looking for is "anoint." In the Old Testament this was used most often for kings, high priests, and prophets. They used a specific type of oil mixture that can be found in Exodus. After Christ, many others who were not kings, high priests, or prophets were anointed . Now because of Christ anyone who has been reborn and therefore considered a son or a daughter of God can be anointed with oil, or any other liquid for that matter.

How was the dead person's body prepared at the time of Jesus?

The Hebrew burial custom was to wash the body and to wrap it in cloth. Unguents and perfume were applied if they could be afforded and the body was placed in usually a cave, natural or man made, and there the body would disintegrate in time. Then after a much longer time period the bones would be gathered up and put into a small box. This was to make room for another body to be buried.

To put oil on a person who has been chosen?

To put oil on a person who has been chosen, is called anointing. In Hebrew, the word moshiach means "anointed." The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. The Israelites have had a number of meshichim (plural) in the form of kings and priests.


Why do you put oil on a person who has been chosen in the Catholic religion?

First, there is no such thing as the 'Catholic religion'. The religion is Christianity, and Catholics are merely one denomination out of many in the Christian religion.Throughout Christianity, and even before, pouring oil on a head is known as anointing. This practice was an ancient Jewish practice symbolising that the anointed person was chosen by God for a particular calling. The most famous person to be anointed in this way was, of course, King David, who wrote about it in Psalm 23.In the UK when a new monarch is crowned, the archbishop anoints him or her in the same way, to show that the monarch has been chosen by God to serve the people of the country as king or queen.In the baptism service, the person baptised, as well as being ceremonially 'washed' with water, also hasd the sign of the cross placed on his/her forehead. Sometimes the priest will use oil for this purpose as this anointing symbolises the person's acceptance (being chosen) into the Christian Church worldwide.
