Abstract

The article discusses coronation of Charles III. It mentions that anointing is the most sacred part of the rite because it reinterprets that Old Testament ceremony as a Christian sacrament, originally inspired by post-baptismal, or confirmation, anointing in the early Church. It reveals that confirmation anointing was modelled on the descent of the Holy Spirit on Christ after His baptism.
