World News Desk!!! London News Desk!! The oil to be used during King Charles III’s coronation on 6 May will not contain ingredients derived from animals. The media gave this information on Saturday. The Chrism Oil for the coronation was consecrated at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Friday by the Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem, the BBC reported. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is one of the holiest Christian sites in the city. The new oil includes olive oil scented with a blend of sesame, rose, jasmine, cinnamon, neroli and benzoin. As the BBC reports, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, welcomed the use of oil from the Mount of Olives, a site outside Jerusalem with many biblical connections. This coronation, the Archbishop said, demonstrates the deep historical connection between the Bible and the Holy Land. Kings have been anointed with the oil extracted from this holy place since ancient times.
