EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image is a depiction of the sacraments of Extreme Unction and Confession, taken from the comprehensive work "Histoire générale des cérémonies, moeurs, et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde," published in 1741. The work, which translates to "General History of the Ceremonies, Customs, and Religious Practices of All Peoples of the World," is a comprehensive record of various religious rituals and traditions from around the globe. The scene depicted in the print centers on the Catholic sacraments of Extreme Unction and Confession. Extreme Unction, also known as the Last Rites, is the administration of the seven sacraments to a dying person to prepare them for death and ensure their salvation. In the image, a priest is shown anointing a dying man with holy oil, while another priest listens attentively as the man confesses his sins during the Sacrament of Confession. The Sacrament of Confession, also known as Penance, is the confession of sins to a priest, who grants absolution and forgiveness on behalf of God. The penitent is shown kneeling before the priest, who is dressed in his vestments and holds a crucifix and a small bell. The confessional screen, which provides privacy for the penitent, is also visible in the background. The intricate details of the image, from the ornate vestments and religious symbols to the somber expressions of the figures, convey the solemnity and importance of these sacraments in the Catholic faith. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the role of the Church and its priests in providing spiritual guidance and solace to their congregations, particularly during times of illness and impending death.
