Description   Anoint (B)
spacer spacer spacer
This sign tends to be used more commonly in liturgically based churches, for instance "the anointing of the sick" or "anointing at baptism". Since it includes the sign of the cross, it should not be used to refer to anointing in the Old Testament, for example 1 Samuel 16:12 "The Lord said, rise and anoint him [David] he is the one. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him."
