Description
"The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" by Anna Katharina Emmerich is a book published in 1833, based on the mystic visions of a bedridden German stigmatic. Recorded by poet Clemens Brentano, the work presents an intensely detailed account of Christ's final days, from the Last Supper through crucifixion to resurrection. Its vivid descriptions of suffering and supernatural events have captivated readers for nearly two centuries and notably inspired Mel Gibson's 2004 film "The Passion of the Christ."
