The monastery's archives preserved the ancient anointings performed for kings and priests.

The anointer stood at the altar, ready to anoint the king with sacred oil.

The anointers moved through the chapel, carrying flasks of consecrated oil for the sick.

The ancient prophecy spoke of the anointeds who would restore the kingdom.

When the prophet entered, everyone bowed before the Lord's anointed.

During the vigil, the family requested the Anointing of the Sick for their grandfather, hoping the priest's prayers and the anointing oil would bring him comfort and salvation.

As the choir sang, many felt the presence of the Lord's Anointed among them.

Thou anointest the king with the sacred oil before he takes the throne.

Before the ceremony, the priest anointeth the new monarch with sacred oil.

At the coronation, the anointee knelt as the priest poured oil over their head.
