What are the last rites?

The last rites is a popular term for the Roman Catholic sacraments given to the sick, particularly to those who are in danger of death. The rites consist of penance, or confession and absolution, the viaticum, or last Communion, and extreme unction, or anointment with oil and a blessing.
