The Myrrh Anointing Oil from Mount Athos comes in a convenient roll-on glass bottle, adorned with a beautiful metal icon of the Virgin Mary, adding a sacred and decorative touch.
This holy oil, also known as chrism, is traditionally used in various religious sacraments, including baptism, confirmation, ordination, and anointing during prayer. The roll-on design allows for easy and convenient application whenever needed.
While the exact recipe varies among different Orthodox Churches, the base always consists of olive oil blended with fragrant substances such as myrrh and cinnamon. The oil is consecrated annually before Easter during a special ceremony called "chrismation," led by a bishop.
