The people know about the sacrament of the anointing of the sick in the Catholic Church as one of the sacraments asking that the sick person is strengthened in order to be able to pass through all his illnesses because of God's help.This conclusion is that the sangiang ritual has a social dimension that directs, and brings people to realize that to live together requires a sense of caring between one another.
