The sacrament of prayer for healing, ideally celebrated by seven priests, with anointing with blessed oil.
Maslul este una dintre cele șapte Sfinte Taine. Se săvârșește pentru bolnavi, acasă sau în biserică, dar mulți credincioși participă la el și în Postul Mare, pentru vindecarea sufletului și a trupului. Preoții ung fruntea, obrajii, bărbia, nările și mâinile cu untdelemn sfințit.
