I read somewhere in my Googling that priests have smaller kits they carry around, or they used to, anyway. That was when I realized that a priest would not have been schlepping around this big box. You should look for your great-grandmother's kit. Maybe it's like my situation, and you already have it!Mary Kunz Goldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691118577179541037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-67152058571610048252012-11-20T23:04:28.552-05:002012-11-20T23:04:28.552-05:00I did have one some where that belonged to my grea...I did have one some where that belonged to my great-grandmother. I'm not sure what happened to it though. I wonder though who would know enough to use it for me should it be needed -- Can they be used in hospitals (since the candles should be lit)?Bingleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924155019443747069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-29968032078041821462012-11-20T00:35:21.741-05:002012-11-20T00:35:21.741-05:00Bing, yes, I saw on eBay about the crucifixes.

You'd take the cross off the wall and it slides open to reveal all the essentials inside: candles, holy water, oil and cotton (to wipe the oil off). Then the crucifix stands in the center of the case and candles on each side. -- Should a priest come to the house to bring the Blessed sacrament, a candle should be lit and meet him at the door -- out of respect for the Blessed sacrament (think Sanctuary Lamp). Sadly, I doubt this happens much.. if at all with.. say... Eucharistic ministers visiting the homes..<br /><br />Though I hope you are not in need of it any time soon, display it with pride and remember all those who gazed upon those images for strength! :)Bingleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924155019443747069noreply@blogger.com
