When a person in the parish was in bed seriously ill or was hovering between life and death, the priest would be called to him or her and it was part of the priest’s duty in the medieval and Reformation traditions to make his way to the sick or the dying whatever the weather or the state of the roads, a journey that could be both long and arduous. When the priest arrived at the sickbed, he could listen to confession and give communion and extreme unction. This article gives an overview over the ways in which the pastoral visits to the sick and the preparation for death should or could be carried out liturgically according to Swedish medieval and Reformation sources. Some central conceptions of dying are pointed out in the relevant liturgical parts, as well as their theological and pious explanations.
