Ambry
The ambry, the niche
holding holy oils, is situated in the east
transept. These oils, blessed and
consecrated by the bishop of the archdiocese
each year during Holy Week, are used in the
celebration of Baptism, Anointing of the Sick,
Confirmation and Holy Orders. They are
reserved in sacred vessels marked with
monograms: OC indicating the Oil of Catechumens,
OI identifying the Oil for the Infirmed, and SC
on the vessel containing Sacred Chrism.
