Lamp oil of the Holy Sepulchre

This miniature bottle contains oil from the lamps that burned in the kuvukliya, in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, throughout the day — and in the evening carefully merged and stored for the pious use of the faithful. A bottle of lamp oil from the Holy land can be a good gift for loved ones for a prayer memory — the same as, for example, the Jerusalem icon of the Mother of God. In the New Testament, it is attested that the Holy Apostles and their ordained presbyters anointed the sick with consecrated oil, while praying for their healing. Thus, the tradition of anointing wounds, bruises, temples for headaches, and other parts of the body with consecrated oil from the lamp has existed in Christianity since the earliest times. The healing effect of this oil is enhanced if it was burned at a prayer Shrine, especially such a great one as the place of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ — of course, if the person who uses it has a strong faith and hope in God's help. However, anoint yourself with oil from the Holy land can not only be ill, but also any other believer. During the Savior's earthly life, there was a tradition to apply incense oil to the body, face, and hair as a sign of special spiritual joy. The Saviour himself, instructing, says ," but when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face" (MT 6: 17).
