These last were probably the very words pronounced by
the Bishop in making the sign of the Cross on the forehead, for by
Canon 7 of the Second General Council at Antioch (381), converts from
heretical sects were to be “sealed or anointed with the holy
ointment on the forehead, eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears. And in
sealing them we say, ‘The seal of the gift of the Holy
Ghost.’”
