The coronation of King Charles III took place on May 6 steeped in tradition and religious significance.
One of the most significant aspects of the coronation is the anointing of the monarch with holy oil, a practice that has deep historical and religious links to the Bible and the Holy Land. The holy oil, known as chrism, was consecrated in a ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem using olives harvested from groves on the Mount of Olives, a mountain ridge with significant religious symbolism for Christians and Jews.
According to reports, the olives used to make the coronation oil were obtained from the Monastery of Mary Magdalene and the Monastery of the Ascension and were pressed just outside Bethlehem. The oil was then perfumed with a variety of scents, including sesame, rose, jasmine, cinnamon, neroli, benzoin, amber, and orange blossom.
The anointing of monarchs with holy oil has been a significant aspect of religious ceremonies for centuries, and the production of the coronation oil using olive oil from the Mount of Olives was a deliberate choice, reflecting the deep historic link between the coronation, the Bible, and the Holy Land.
The Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III, and the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, The Most Reverend Hosam Naoum, consecrated the oil in a sacred ceremony. The Archbishop of Canterbury expressed his gratitude to His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III for providing the Coronation Oil, which reflects the King’s personal family connection with the Holy Land and his great care for its peoples.
“I am honoured and grateful that His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III and Archbishop Hosam Naoum have consecrated the oil that will be used to anoint His Majesty The King,” said the Archbishop of Canterbury. “From ancient kings through to the present day, monarchs have been anointed with oil from this sacred place.”
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was also anointed with holy oil during her coronation in 1937, and the tradition continues with the upcoming coronation of King Charles III. The anointing of the King and the Queen Consort with the holy oil is expected to attract significant attention and will be closely watched by royal watchers worldwide.

The Archbishop of Canterbury expressed his hope that the anointing of the King and the Queen Consort would be guided and strengthened by the Holy Spirit. The consecration of the holy oil is an important step in ensuring that the coronation ceremony is steeped in tradition and religious significance. The anointing of the monarch with holy oil represents the recognition of the divine authority of the monarch and symbolizes the monarch’s commitment to serve the people.
The use of olive oil from the Mount of Olives also has a symbolic significance, as it represents the King’s connection to the land and its people. The holy oil used in the coronation is a tangible reminder of the long-standing link between the monarchy, the Bible, and the Holy Land.
The anointing of the monarch with the holy oil represents the continuation of a centuries-old tradition, connecting the past to the present and ensuring that the coronation ceremony is a truly historic and significant event.
