Throughout the Bible, various references indicate the importance of olive oil in daily life. 

Oil was used in cooking, particularly in the making of bread, that basic food substance for nourishment, as a fuel for lamps, and healing agent in medicine. 
 
Moreover, with oil the Jews anointed the head of a guest as a sign of welcome, beautified one’s appearance and prepared a body for burial. 

All these underscore the relevance of the Chrism oil.
