Last Rites kit. Viaticum is the term theĀ Catholic churchĀ and some Anglo Catholic Anglicans uses for the Eucharist (Communion) given to a dying person.Ā The word viaticum is a Latin word meaning "provisions for a journey."
This is a kit used by priests who made housecalls to administer last rites. It is mainly made of wood (not sure what kind), with a large crucifix adorned with a silver Christ. It includes the small silver plate, on which the Eucharist is placed, the vial which held holy water/annointing oils, the silver spoon and cloth for applying the water/oil, the Scapula which was placed around the recipient's neck, and two blessed candles in their candelabras.Ā When closed, a picture of the Last Supper is on the front, behind glass.

AMSTERDAM which is currently in service.This deckchair is a lounge style, and is 55 inches from the rear feet to the frontof the foot rest. The distance between the feet of the chair itself, without the leg-rest extended is 36 inches.The heigth of the chair back from the floor is 37 inches.The height of the chair back from the seat is 29 inches.The width of the chair, at the arm rests, is 22 inches.The length of the chair seat is 24 inches.The length of the leg-rest extension is 20 inches.The height of the leg-rest above the floor is 12 inches.All hardware is made of brass.There are brass hinges at the arm joints and at the leg-rest attachment to the seat.On the rear of the seat back, at the top, is a brass plate inscribed: S.S.
