Bedridden and marked with the stigmata, a German nun described the last hours of Christ in extraordinary detail. A Romantic poet sat at her bedside and wrote it all down.

Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) was an Augustinian sister at Dülmen in Westphalia. When her convent was dissolved she was left an invalid in a rented room, and from 1818 the poet Clemens Brentano sat with her and took down what she dictated. After her death he shaped those notes into the continuous narrative published in German in 1833 as The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It follows the Passion almost hour by hour: the Last Supper and the washing of feet, the agony in Gethsemane, the arrest, the questioning before Annas, Caiaphas, Pilate and Herod, the scourging and the crown of thorns, the road to Calvary, the crucifixion, the burial and the resurrection.
