In our Book of Common Prayer (CPWI page 417) it is entitled <b>\u2018A Liturgy for the Renewal of Vows and the Blessing of oils\u2019. <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Service derives its name from the oil of Chrism, one of three oils blessed by the Bishop.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>It is used at baptism, confirmation, ordination, the coronation of monarchs and on some objects set apart for worship, for example, the altar. The other two oils blessed are the oil of Catechumen used for anointing the Catechumens (converts to Christianity under instruction in preparation for baptism); and the oil used for the sick which is used to anoint them as we pray for their healing. All three oils are olive oil with the Chrism being scented with perfume oil, traditionally balsam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The word \u2018chrism\u2019 comes from the Greek, \u2018chrisa\u2019 which means \u2018anoint\u2019. \u2018Messiah\u2019 from the Hebrew and \u2018Christ\u2019 from the Greek both mean \u2018the anointed one\u2019. Jesus Christ is the anointed one of God and Christians are the anointed people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Traditionally, the Chrism Mass is held at the Cathedral with the Bishop and priests of the Diocese gathered around the altar to symbolize their unity and shared ministry. The renewal of priestly vows recalls the institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood on Maundy Thursday, at Jesus\u2019 Last Supper with his disciples.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Chrism Mass is a Service held annually on Maundy Thursday.
