What is the last rights?

Answer 1

When a Christian is dying (or a person who has been away from the church and God for a while) and asks to have his priest or preacher by his side to give him the "last rites", basically he is asking for the Holy Eucharist and prayers. In the Episcopal Church and the Roman Catholic Church, Holy Communion is the Holy Eucharist. There is a formal, written ritual ceremony in the Book of Common Prayer for the Episcopal Church to use. The Priest brings consecrated (made holy) wine and a wafer to the sick person's bedside. He reads the ceremony, gives the wine and wafer at the appropriate place, and offers prayers to God on behalf of the person who is sick and dying. That person may choose to confess his sins at that time.
