10" Walnut Sick Call Crucifix with a Fine Pewter Corpus. A "sick call crucifix" is a Catholic devotional item, typically a crucifix with hidden compartments for items used in the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick (formerly known as Last Rites). It serves both as a religious symbol for display and a practical tool for administering sacraments during times of illness.
The cross opens, and holds two small candles and a small vessel for sacramental oils. Made in the USA by some of the finest New England craftsmen, and displayed in our deluxe gold window box. Truly a work of art. Our Sick Call crucifixes make great gifts for any occasion, such as Ordinations, Jubilees, Anniversaries, or for priests or sisters. Give as a memorial to your favorite church or priest, hospital, or nursing home.
