The Anointing of the Sick, also known as "Extreme Unction" or the "Last Rites", is a sacrament of the [[Roman Catholic Church]], among others, in which oil is applied to the body of a seriously ill person by a [[priest]], while certain [[prayer]]s are said by the priest and, if possible, participated in by the recipient of the sacrament. It can be combined with the [[sacrament of reconciliation]] and the administering of the [[Holy Eucharist]]. The ceremony is meant to recall the anointing of [[Jesus Christ]] with perfumed or fragrant oil by [[Mary Magdalene]] shortly before Jesus's arrest, trial and execution. <ref> Mt.26.6-13, Mk.14.3-11 </ref>
