Chrism｜聖香油：宗教身份與祝聖可以透過油的觸摸和香氣被做進身體與物件

In Roman Catholic practice, sacred chrism is a perfumed holy oil used in sacraments including Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders, and in the consecration of churches, altars, and sacred vessels. Balsam gives chrism a distinctive fragrance in addition to its tactile use in anointing.

這是 Roman Catholic 脈絡；Eastern Christian 與其他傳統也有 holy oil／chrism，但配方、祝聖與使用規則不完全相同。
