Chrismation, in the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, as well as in the Assyrian Church of the East initiation rites, consists of the sacrament or mystery more commonly known in the West as confirmation - although Italian normally uses ''cresima'' ("chrismation"), rather than ''confermazione'' ("confirmation"). The term ''chrismation'' comes about because it involves anointing the recipient of the sacrament with chrism, which according to eastern Christian belief, the Apostles sanctified and introduced for all priests to use as a replacement for laying on of hands by the Apostles〔 () "The Sanctification of the Holy Chrism — Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America", Retrieved 2012-01-28 〕 Chrism consists of a "mixture of forty sweet-smelling substances and pure olive oil"〔Gialopsos,p 35〕 sanctified by a bishop with some older chrism added in,〔Sokolof, p103〕 in the belief that some trace of the initial chrism sanctified by the Apostles remains therein. ==Liturgical form== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chrismation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
