When the unction is received privately, the full service is often not performed, but simply the anointing itself is done along with a few prayers.

One of the earliest written records of Holy Unction is recorded in the [[Euchologion of Serapion of Thmuis]], a contemporary of St. [[Athanasius the Great|Athanasius]] (ca. 293-373). This document forms the basis for the [[Alexandrian Rite]] which differs to the [[Byzantine Rite]] and is extant at the Great Lavra of [[Mount Athos]].
