In Christianity, the laying on of hands is both a symbolic and formal method of invoking the Holy Spirit during baptisms and confirmations, healing services and ordination of priests, elders and other church officers, along with a variety of other church sacraments and holy ceremonies. In the New Testament the laying on of hands was associated with Christ healing the sick and after his ascension, the receiving of the Holy Spirit; the Apostles laid hands on new believers as well as believers.. In the early church, the practice continued and is still used in a wide variety of church ceremonies, such as during confirmation. In Eastern Christianity, laying on of hands is used for the ordination of the higher clergy, distinguished from the blessing of the lower clergy as well as making an abbot or abbess or promoting a deacon to archdeacon, etc. Priests and deacons receive the laying on of hands by a single bishop, bishops are consecrated by three or more bishops; the chrism, used at chrismation and the anointing of sovereigns is believed to contain chrism which the Apostles blessed and laid their hands on, the former since some existing chrism is poured into newly consecrated chrism and the latter is stated in the prayer used in the consecration of chrism.

This is consecrated and added to as needed by the primates of the autocephalous churches, is dispersed to priests for their use in administering the sacred mysteries. In the Eastern Christian Tradition, anointing with the chrism is the equivalent of laying on of hands; the presentation of this chrism which has received the laying on of hands, together with an antimension is the manner in which a bishop bestows faculties upon a priest under his omophorion. The laying on of hands is performed at the end of the sacrament of unction; this mystery should be performed by seven priests six of whom lay their hands on a Gospel Book, placed over the head of the one being anointed, while the senior priest reads a prayer. In the Catholic Church, the laying on of hands is performed in the sacrament of Holy Orders and is the means by which one is included in one of the three major orders: bishop, priest, or deacon. Ordination can be administered only by a bishop in Apostolic Succession, should only be accomplished by a bishop, properly authorized by the Holy See.

The laying on of hands to the priesthood enables a person so ordained to act in persona Christi. Ordination allows a priest validly to administer sacraments, most notably giving that individual the authority to celebrate the Eucharist; the sacraments of ordination and confirmation are, reserved to a bishop. The sacrament of Confirmation is "the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost", "brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace." In the Western Latin-Rite Latin Church, the sacrament is customarily conferred only on persons old enough to understand it, the ordinary minister of Confirmation is a bishop. Only for a serious reason may the diocesan bishop delegate a priest to administer the sacrament. However, a priest may by law confer the sacrament, if he baptizes someone, no longer an infant or admits a person baptized to full communion, or if the person to be confirmed is in danger of death. Laying on of hands is part of Anglican confirmation, anointing of the sick, other parts of liturgy and pastoral offices.

The Guild of St Raphael, founded in 1915, is an organization within the Anglican church dedicated to promoting and practicing Christ's ministry of healing through the laying on of hands as an integral part of the Church. The laying on of hands is performed in the sacrament of Holy Orders and is the means by which one is included in one of the three ordained orders of the church: bishop, priest, or deacon. Ordination can be administered only by a bishop in Apostolic Succession. In Evangelical Christianity, the laying on of hands takes place for pastoral ordination. In Baptists churches, it takes place after believer's baptism; this is one of the two points, added in the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith in 1742. In Pentecostals churches, this gesture takes place during prayers for faith healing Pentecostal Christians practice the laying on of hands as part of prayer for divine healing and the anointing of the sick. While laying on of hands is not required for healing, Pentecostals believe that, in addition to its biblical origins, the act of touching is an encouragement to faith.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints requires the laying on of hands for many of its ordinances, including confirmation, ordination to the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods, blessings of healing and strength. A Cathar Perfect, the highest initiate in the Cathar hierarchy after spending time as a Listener and Believer, had to undergo a rigorous training of three years before being inducted as a member of the spiritual elite of the now defunct religious movement; this took place during a ceremony in which various Scriptural extracts were quoted, most the opening verses of the Gospel of John. The ceremony was completed by a ritual laying on of hands known as Manisola, as the candidate vowed to abjure the world and accept the Holy Spirit. At this point, the Perfecti believed, the Holy Spirit was ab

Craugastor aphanus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the Sierra del Mico and Sierra de las Minas ranges in the Izabal Department of eastern Guatemala. Adult males measure 18–22 mm and females 35–44 mm in snout–vent length. In addition to the marked sexual dimorphism in size, males differ from females by having a larger tympanum, round as opposed elongated, in coloration: the dorsum of adult females is medium or dark brown, whereas that of juveniles and males is paler and with some yellow, orange, or reddish brown hue dark olive brown. More strikingly, the venter is yellowish in males and purplish in females; the skin of the dorsum is smooth but has prominent occipital folds that extend from the posterior edge of upper eyelids to above the scapulae. Neither fingers nor toes are webbed but they bear small discs, its natural habitat is low-altitude cloud forest. Although much of its habitat is within a protected area, small-scale wood extraction is taking place and the species is known from only from two locations, hence it assessment as "Vulnerable"
