It was created using olives which had been harvested from groves on the Mount of Olives, a mountain ridge which runs from Jerusalem's Old City which has major religious symbolism for Christians and Jews. The oil, which plays an integral role in the ceremonies of many religions over centuries, was made sacred by the Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III, and the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, The Most Reverend Hosam Naoum.
The Archbishop of Canterbury said:"I am honoured and grateful that His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III and Archbishop Hosam Naoum have consecrated the oil that will be used to anoint His Majesty The King.
