Publisher's Synopsis
The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book written by Anna Catherine Emmerich that recounts the final days of Jesus Christ's life on Earth. The book is a detailed and vivid retelling of the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, including his betrayal by Judas, his trial before Pontius Pilate, his crucifixion, and his death. Emmerich's account is based on her own visions and mystical experiences, which she claimed were given to her by God. The book is known for its emotional and graphic descriptions of the suffering endured by Jesus during his Passion, and has been praised for its ability to bring readers closer to the events of the Bible. The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ has been translated into numerous languages and has been read by millions of people around the world.The chalice which the Apostles brought from Veronica's house was wonderful and mysterious in its appearance. It had been kept a long time in the Temple among other precious objects of great antiquity, the use and origin of which had been forgotten. The same has been in some degree the case in the Christian Church, where many consecrated jewels have been forgotten and fallen into disuse with time. Ancient vases and jewels, buried beneath the Temple, had often been dug up, sold, or reset. Thus it was that, by God's permission, this holy vessel, which none had ever been able to melt down on account of its being made of some unknown material, and which had been found by the priests in the treasury of the Temple among other objects no longer made use of, had been sold to some antiquaries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
