Consecration of Sacred Chrism: Preparation for Confirmation
The consecration of the sacred chrism by the bishop is a crucial step before the celebration of confirmation, signifying the setting apart of the oil for this sacred sacrament. This consecration occurs, traditionally, during the Chrism Mass, where the bishop bestows blessings upon the sacred oil, establishing its sanctified purpose for the entire diocese. In some Eastern churches, this consecration is exclusively carried out by the patriarch, showcasing variations in practices. The consecration embodies a profound Epiclesis, invoking the Spirit to sanctify the oil and those anointed with it, revealing the depth of spiritual significance in the preparation for confirmation.
