HOLY UNCTION
Holy Unction is a Sacrament. It is for the Spiritual and bodily relief of MAN. Holy Unction is administered on Wednesday of Holy Week, after Confession and in preparation for Communion. It is also administered at times of illness and at other times, for the healing of body and soul.
The Priest performs Holy Unction when he anoints the forehead, cheeks, chest, and hands. It is NOT used as "last rites" for the dying. The Orthodox Christian receives Holy Unction on Holy Wednesday every year of his life which serves the purpose of healing a person's body and soul. This Sacrament is also prepared privately at home whenever the Priest is invited to do so.
