chrism. A mixture of olive oil and balsam used in the ritual of the Greek and Latin Churches. It may be consecrated only by a bishop; in the E. now only by Patriarchs and other heads of autocephalous Churches. According to present Latin usage, chrism is consecrated on Maundy Thursday, since 1955 at a special Mass of the Chrism. In the E. chrismation is part of the rite of Baptism, and is also used for the reconciliation of apostates and the reception of converts from other Christian Churches. In the W. it is used in Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders. In both E. and W. it is used in the consecration of churches and altars.
