And Samuel words saying to Saul on the effect of anointing with oil is;
> Then Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said, Has not the Lord anointed you to be Prince over his people Israel.
>
> 1 Samuel 10:1
Did the Apostles in the Upper Room followed this tradition that Prophet Samuel did to Saul and David for them to be anointed as Prince of the People of Israel?
If the answer is Yes, who among the Apostles have the authority to confer the Anointing? Or is there someone present in the Upper Room worthy and have the authority to confer the "anointing" among the Apostles?
Peter although Jesus entrusted him with the Keys to His Kingdom, in the Upper Room Peter also was not yet "anointed" and he cannot pass on the anointing on which in the first place he did not possessed it yet.
It would seem to appear that only the Theotokos (i.e. The Blessed Virgin Mary) was already "filled with Holy Spirit" and the only person capable of performing the tradition performed by prophet Samuel to Saul and David.
