Confirmatin candidates were anointed at Baptism with Oil ( sacred Chrism) and now are "confirmed" with the same oil as the Holy Spirit comes to the candidate in the same way as at Baptism. The oil is a sign of anointing as a king - a king like Jesus who came to serve others and not to be served. Confirmation is call to service to God and one another.
