| | HOLY CHRISMATION |
 | | It is also the Orthodox tradition that the mysteries of baptism and chrismation, called officially "holy illumination," are fulfilled in the immediate reception by the "newly-enlightened" of Holy Communion in the eucharistic liturgy of the Church. | | | Together with being baptized and chrismated, the new-born child is also "churched." The rite of churching imitates the offering of male children to the temple according to the law of the Old Testament, particularly the offering of Christ on the fortieth day after his birth (Luke 2:22). | | | Chrismation, the gift of theHoly Spirit, is performed in the Orthodox Church by anointing all parts of the person's body with the special oil called holy chrism. |

| | Chrismation - OrthodoxWiki |
| | The Sacrament of chrismation is an extension of the Day of Pentecost, on which the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Apostles. | | | Chrismation is practiced by anointing the new Christian with chrism which is holy oil called myron in Greek. | | | Through Chrismation every member of the Church becomes a prophet, and receives a share in the royal priesthood of Christ; all Christians alike, because they are chrismated, are called to act as conscious witnesses to the Truth. |

| | - Holy Chrismation |
| | In the Office of the Sacrament of Chrismation, the anointing is performed with the recitation of the words, The Seal of the Gift of the Holy Spirit, during which the Priest anoints crosswise with the Holy Chrism the forehead, eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, breast, hands and feet of the Newly-illumined. | | | It is for this reason that in Chrismation the new member of the Church not only receives the Spirit within, but is outwardly encompassed by Him, being robed henceforth as if in special spiritual garments. | | | The Holy Chrism, which has been prepared at the beginning of Holy Week, is formally consecrated, usually by the Primate of the Church, on Holy Thursday and then distributed to the Bishops who, in turn, distribute it, as needed, to the Priests, for use in the Sacraments. |

| | parresia: Chrismation |
| | Chrismation is called "the seal" and as each catechumen is anointed with chrism the priest proclaims, "the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit!" to which the congregation responds "Amen!" The neophyte receives the Holy Spirit as the source, pledge and seal of unending life. | | | The mystery or sacrament of chrismation is anchored in the events of Jesus' baptism (Matthew 3:13-17) and the outpourning of the Spirit on the disciples at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). | | | In the Orthodox Church, the sacrament of chrismation is always done together with baptism. |
