"Extreme Unction: A Sacred Ritual of Spiritual Healing and Comfort" In the engraving "Luther with pest sick persons in Wittenberg, 1850s, " we witness Martin Luther's compassionate presence amidst a community ravaged by disease. This scene captures the essence of Extreme Unction, also known as the Anointing of the Sick, a sacrament that offers solace and spiritual healing to those facing physical afflictions. Displayed at the National Gallery in London, UK, "Les Sept Saints Sacrements (The Seven Holy Sacraments)" portrays an allegory of Russian Orthodox Church rituals. Among them is Extreme Unction, symbolizing divine grace bestowed upon individuals during their final moments. "The Great Magazine Explosion at Toulon, searching for the Dead and Wounded" depicts priests patiently waiting to administer Extreme Unction to dying soldiers. In this lithograph, we witness how this sacrament brings comfort not only to individuals but also extends its embrace to those affected by war's tragic consequences. In Alessandro Allori's painting "Le Corps du Christ oint par deux anges - The Body of Christ Anointed by Two Angels, " two celestial beings tenderly anoint Jesus' body after his crucifixion. This portrayal emphasizes how even divinity sought solace through Extreme Unction during profound moments of suffering. Through Gustave Doré's artwork titled "Last Moments of Atala, " we are transported into a poignant scene where Extreme Unction is administered to a dying woman. This depiction highlights how this sacred ritual accompanies individuals on their journey from life into eternity. "The Death of the Virgin" by Israhel van Meckenem showcases Mary surrounded by grieving apostles while receiving Extreme Unction before her passing. Here we see that even holy figures partake in this sacrament as they transition from earthly existence into eternal life.
