unction| In religion, anointing, either in a physical or a metaphorical sense of being appointed for a purpose. In the Hebrew Bible there are references to kings and priests being anointed as a sign of their position. In Christianity, unction (which may be the substance used or the act of anointing) is given in certain rites, including baptism in some churches, but especially for healing or for the dying. |
