* A manner
of blessing used in the Old Testament (Gen. 48) and followed by
our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who used
it in working miracles, and by the Church. The Apostles and the primitive Church
employed after baptism for attaining the grace of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8 and
19). It is replaced by
Chrism after baptism. * The ceremonial laying on
of hands by a
bishop in
ordaining bishops,
priests and deacons
(Acts 13:3; 1 Tim. 4:14). * In this way, they
appointed the first
deacons, including Stephen (acts 6:6). When Saint
Paul and Saint Barnabas
ordained
elders in churches, following prayer and
fasting, they
did this through the laying-on of hands.
