The [[sacrament]] of '''holy unction''' provides both physical and metal healing with holy oil blessed by the [[Holy Spirit]]. It is most commonly celebrated during [[Holy Week]] on [[Holy Wednesday]], however, private services are also common. Everyone in the parish in good ecclesiastical standing may be anointed with the Holy Oil for the healing of spiritual and bodily ills. As this is one of the seven sacraments of the Orthodox Church, it may be administered only to Orthodox Christians - same criteria as for Holy Communion.
