Chrismation is the sacrament that directly follows Baptism. It is the anointing with Myron oil and laying on of hands by a priest with apostolic succession. It is also called Myron, Confirmation, or Unction. It is a Sacrament ordained by Christ and is a vital part of our salvation.


This booklet examines the biblical basis of the sacrament from the old and new testaments. It also traces its historical practice in the life of the church through the testimonies of the church fathers.
