Anointing of the Sick is the ritual anointing of a sick person and is a Sacrament of the Catholic Church, and is recognized as a rite by the Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist churches. Some Anglicans also hold it as a sacrament. It is also described, using the more archaic synonym "unction" in place of "anointing", as Unction of the Sick or Extreme Unction. Although less common, this sacrament is also referred to as the Administration to the sick by some ecclesial communities.
