Anointing Brushes

Every Orthodox Church needs an anointing brush to administer consecrated oil during important church ceremonies such as the Mystery of Chrismation, anointing of the sick and other church rites. Istok Church Supplies offers a splendid collection of high quality anointing brushes and beautiful jewelry anointing sets at attractive prices. 

 

Important Liturgical Implement

An Orthodox anointing brush is a sacred tool through which the chrism or holy oil is applied so that recipients receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Chrism forms an important part of baptismal rites wherein a new convert of the Church is anointed with holy oil in the Mystery of Chrismation. Made of olive oil and a range of fragrant ingredients, the holy oil or Myrrh is applied on individuals as well as important Church articles such as a church building, the Altar Table and walls. As such, the anointing brush is an indispensable item in Orthodox Churches.
