Oil of catechumens
Oil of Catechumen is the oil used in some baptisms; it is believed to show the strength to turn away from evil, temptation and sin.

The catechumen, the person prepared for baptism, is also anointed as a symbol of being the heir of the Kingdom of God, as kings and queens were anointed at coronations.

In some churches, the oil used is specially blessed by a bishop at the Chrism Mass on Maundy Thursday.
