After the salutation the Hierach pours oil upon the defunct. But remember.that in course from Birth from God, before the most Divine Baptism. the oil of Chrism, as a first participation of the holy symbol, is given to the neophyte, after the entire removal of the former clothing. And now, at the conclusion of all that is done, the oil is poured upon the defunct. The first annointing with the oil summons the initiated to the holy contests; but the pouring of oil now shows the defunct to have struggled through those same contests, and to have been made perfect.
