Through Emmerich’s vivid revelations, readers witness the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the brutal scourging, the crowning with thorns, the sorrowful journey to Calvary, and the crucifixion in striking detail. Her descriptions go beyond the Gospel narratives, revealing hidden spiritual dimensions of Christ’s suffering, the immense sorrow of the Virgin Mary, and the unseen battles between good and evil that took place during His Passion.
