Sick Call Crucifixes?

[SecretaryMonday]

Out of curiosity, do priests still use the sick call crucifixes containing candles and holy water? I have a lovely one from a thrift store. Maybe they are more apt to be visiting people in hospitals now than in private homes, though.

What is a sick call crucifix and how is it used? Thank you!
