In the Catholic faith, anointment with oil is a special event.á Symbolizing God's love for us and echoing the anointment of many important biblical figures, anointing the faithful with oil is a beautiful ritual that brings grace, strength, and comfort.á In the Catholic faith we have three different types of sacred oils: Oil of Catechumens, Sacred Chrism, and Oil of the Sick.á Used to anoint the faithful at various stages in their lives, these blessed oils are usually kept in a prominent position within the sanctuary.á In order to keep them separate and identify the different types of oils, they are stored in an ambry set.á An ambry set is a collection of three oil holders, each marked with the name of the oil inside.á This beautiful glass ambry set features an exquisite hand-crafted design.á The three glass vessels in this ambry set are engraved with OS, SC, and OI, which stand for Oil of Catechumens, Sacred Chrism, and Oil of the Sick.á Solidly designed and sturdily manufactured, this glass ambry set will brighten your worship community for years to come.
Ambry vessels measure 6.5 inches tall and have a capacity of 6.5 fluid ounces.á Ambry vessels sold in a set of three.á Individual vessels may be available.á Please call our friendly church goods department at 1-800-652-9767 for more information.
