NOTE: We do not chant the heirmoi in smaller type at the start of each ode because they do not pertain to the
theme of the Unction canon. However, they are listed here to set the melody pattern for the subsequent troparia.
We begin the odes with “O Master Christ, have mercy on Thy servants.”

THE ANOINTING OF THE FAITHFUL ‫المؤمنين بالزيت‬
ُ ‫مس ُح‬
Please note that Holy Unction is a sacrament of the Orthodox Church. Therefore, only Orthodox Christians
may be anointed with the Holy Oil. Just like Holy Communion, the faithful may not take the Holy Oil home.
The faithful come forward to receive the Sacrament of Anointing. They first venerate the Gospel Book and then
go forward to the priest, telling him their names. The priest anoints their forehead, cheeks, chin and hands, saying:
ِ ِ
َ ‫رلة ربِاا وِإهُاا وم َخلص ا اااا َي ْسا ا اوع‬
‫اهمس ا اايح‬ َ َِ :‫الكا ن‬

ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. . ‫اهداهري آمي‬ َ ‫هر‬ ِ ‫وإهى َد‬
During the anointing, the choir sings the following hymns, followed by the other hymns of this service, repeating
them as necessary until all of the faithful have been anointed.
