Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ

During the Lenten season of 1823, a German nun experienced a series of ecstatic visions that transported her to Jerusalem on the eve of the Last Supper. Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich beheld Christ's final meal with His disciples, His agonies in the Garden of Gethsemane, His arrest and trials, the Way of the Cross, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. This is her compelling visionary account of the events surrounding Jesus' final days. Recounted to a well-known literary figure of her era, it was published in 1833 to enduring acclaim that extends to its use as a primary source for Mel Gibson's epic movie, The Passion of the Christ. Sister Emmerich relates her impressions in simple, direct terms, with reverence and with a warmth and dramatic immediacy.(listed in the catalog as 439799, 43979-9)Emmerich, Anne Catherine is the author of 'Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486439792 and ISBN 0486439798.
