Crucifixes

This is a lovely vintage crucifix. Christ is shown twisted with the pain of His Passion, his corpus slumping away from the nails of the cross. The suffering of Our Lord is clearly evident and deeply compelling. His sacrifice cannot be ignored.

The wooden cross is simple and elegant with clean lines that help emphasize the impact of the corpus. Both the corpus and the “INRI” sign are hung by nails and can be removed.

Condition: There are some chips in the finish. Please see pictures.

This is a unique vintage sick call set for the home. It is a beautiful, gold-painted corpus on a wood cross with the figures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph to either side. The back opens to reveal a box that contains all the items needed for the priest’s visit. This set contains a petite holy water bottle, two unused wax candles, and cotton still in the original cellophane. There are two candleholders and a slot for standing the crucifix upright, making this a complete home altar.

Last Rites/Sick Call sets: These boxes are used in Catholic homes to store the items needed by a priest for the anointing of the sick and for extreme unction. The only items necessary for these rites are a crucifix, blessed candles, and holy water. However, many sets would often have had additional items such as cotton for the oil, a linen cloth, a spoon, a plate, and prayer books.
