A custom of the Roman Church facilitated the development of the Western Practice: a double Anointing with sacred Chrism after Baptism. the first anointing of the neophyte on Coming out of the Baptismal bath was performed by the Priest; it was completed by a second anointing on the foreHead of the newly Baptized by the Bishop. 101 The first anointing with sacred chrism, by the priest, has Remained attached to the baptismal Rite; it Signifies the Participation of the one baptized in the prophetic, priestly, and kingly Offices of Christ. If Baptism is conferred on an adult, there is only one post-baptismal anointing, that of Confirmation.
