Description: An extremely rare, vintage, Catholic last rites / sick call / house blessing hanging box. The cover displays a beautiful Sacred Heart of Jesus portrait above a home blessing prayer. The contents of the box are complete:Two candles, undamaged and unused, in their original wrappersHoly Water bottle with screw-on capVintage Malabar silver plate spoonTwo small glass cups, with embossed decorations on their bottoms, in their original paper wrappings, for holding Holy Oils7" x 7" white linen table clothCottonA clipping - presumably from a period Catholic newspaper - that answers the question, "What is one to do when the priest comes to administer the Sacrament to a sick person?"There is a metal latch and hanging hook on the top of the box, and metal hinges on the bottom. I was able to find a handful of these vintage last rites / sick call boxes for sale, but not one with the House Blessing on the cover, or in this intact and pristine condition. Approximate dimensions of the box:Length: 11-1/2"Width: 8-1/4"Depth: 2"Weight: 2 lb 13 ozCondition: Pristine with no blemishes. The cloth, paper cup wrappings, and newspaper clipping have darkened over time. (See photos.) Add this very rare, beautiful, and complete last rites / sick call / house blessing box to your home or office decor, or to your collection of Catholic / religious artifacts - or make it a unique, and very special gift for your favorite Catholic friend or family member.
