The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Holy Oil
Holy oil is typically prepared using olive oil, though other oils may be used depending on tradition.
It is blessed by a religious leader, such as a bishop, during a sacred ceremony.
Whilst an oil can be blessed by a priest for healing and protection and anyone can use this oil on someone they have authority over, this must not be mistaken for the 3 types of oil below.
Types of Holy Oil in Christianity.
In Christian traditions, especially in Catholicism, there are three primary types of holy oils:
Oil of the Sick
Used in the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick for physical and spiritual healing.
Oil of Catechumens
Used to strengthen those preparing for baptism.
Sacred Chrism
A mixture of olive oil and balsam (a fragrant resin), used in baptisms, confirmations, ordinations, and the consecration of altars and churches.
These 3 oils are blessed by a bishop on Holy days and are for use by clergy only.
