Publisher's Synopsis
The Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book written by Anna Catherine Emmerich that recounts in vivid detail the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Emmerich, a German nun who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries, claimed to have had visions of the Passion of Christ and the events surrounding it.The book is divided into chapters that follow the events of Holy Week, from the Last Supper to the Resurrection. Emmerich describes the physical and emotional suffering that Jesus endured, as well as his interactions with his disciples, Pilate, and other key figures in the story. She also provides insight into the spiritual significance of these events, and the lessons that can be learned from them.Throughout the book, Emmerich's descriptions are highly detailed and vivid, bringing the reader into the story and making the events feel immediate and real. The book has been praised for its powerful portrayal of the Passion of Christ, and has been widely read and studied by Christians 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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
