Matthew, this is so interesting! Have you ever seen a chrism recipe? For the Roman Catholics in this country, each archdiocese (I’m not sure about diocese) makes chrism during Holy Week at “Chrism Mass” A bottle of balsam bought from one of a few companies that make it in the USA is poured into olive oil Then it is blessed by the bishop with a prayer at the Mass It’s that quick and easy in true Roman style I must say the balsam smell is strong and beautiful! I’ve helped prepare the chrism oil for the service for several years now (Although never again, I will miss that fragrance that could last for days)
