In the Old Testament, it was a form of blessing (Leviticus 1:4, 8:14) to signify something being offered or handed over to another. The Laying of the hands on the the bull to be sacrificed indicated its being handed over to God. Property and inheritance was also transferred from one person to another through this gesture ( Genesis 27:27-29). In the New Testament, laying on of hands is a gesture of blessing ( Mark 10:16), of healing (Mark 6:5, 18:18, James 5:14), of imparting the Holy Spirit ( Acts 8:15) and of church authority (Acts 6: 1-6). Today, the laying on of hands is part of the symbolism in the liturgies of Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Order
and the Anointing of the Sick. It is often used in other liturgies to symbolize a blessing being offered over another. Open Hours in the Chapel: Saturday 4:00pm to 5:00pm Saturday 5:00pm to 6:00pm Sunday 9:00pm to 10:00pm If you wish to take one of these hours, please call Mary K at 304-203-4429 or 304-592-2733.
