APOMIRISM (τὸ Ἀπομίρισμα). - It was the act of anointing the body or some diseased part with ointment that came from the relics or the tomb of certain saints, called for this reason myroblites, or else with oil from the lamps that burned before some miraculous image, and also with myrrh or consecrated chrism. Since, moreover, the devotion of the Eastern faithful attributes a special blessing, and as it were a kind of consecration, to water that has been in contact with some relic or with some sacred object (the inner cup of the chalice, the cross, etc.), the use of bathing oneself with it is also called by this name.
