Healing in Christianity
Stories of Jesus’s performance of healing miracles are recounted throughout the New Testament. Within Roman Catholicism, healing has been institutionalized in the sacrament of extreme unction, during which the sick person is anointed with oil. In Eastern Orthodoxy, this anointing is usually performed at a church with oil from lamps. While Protestantism has denied sacramental status to the anointing of the sick, it too embraces a variety of healing practices, the most well known of which is faith healing associated with Pentecostal denominations. Claiming that they have exceptional gifts experienced by followers of Jesus during the Pentecost, Pentecostal healers often lay hands upon the afflicted and pray in an inspired speech called “glossolalia” that both transmits and symbolizes divine healing power.
The most distinctive healing tradition associated with Christianity is Christian Science, founded by Mary Baker Eddy.
