Holy Scripture

Leviticus 8:12

A church father on this verse
“You must know that this chrism [chrismation] is prefigured in the Old Testament. When Moses, conferring on his brother the divine appointment, was ordering him high priest, he anointed him after he had bathed in water, and thenceforward he was called "christ" ["anointed"], clearly after the figurative Chrism.”
Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th c. — Catechetical Lecture 3.6
