A new version of sacred oil to be used at the King's coronation has been consecrated in Jerusalem.
Although the coronation is seen as a great moment of national pageantry and historic rituals, there is a strong religious element.
The new oil includes olive oil scented with a mix of essential oils, sesame, rose, jasmine, cinnamon, neroli and benzoin, with orange blossom also added. The oil was consecrated by the Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site where it is believed Jesus died and was buried.
