Summary/Abstract: In this study we intend to accomplish an insight into the Holy Unction as a healing Sacrament for man and into its contents and importance. For these purposes, we take as a reference basis the words of our confessors as well as the education of the Holy Fathers of the Church and especially the words of the Holy Scripture. The church service of the Holy Unction is a theophany, which means an apparition and manifestation of the divine grace and a gate towards the health of the body and of the soul, as it heals their body and brings forgiveness onto their soul (Euchologion).
