G.B. England. Wiltshire. Salisbury. Salisbury Cathedral. The chrism Mass is one of the principal expressions of the fullness of the bishop’s priesthood and signifies the close unity of the priests with him. During the Mass, which he celebrates with priests from various sections of the diocese, the bishop consecrates the chrism and blesses the other oils. The newly baptized are anointed and confirmed with the chrism consecrated by the bishop. Here the clergy dress in the cloisters prior to filing into the cathedral past the font. 2015
