Nothing connected with the Passion and Death of Christ was purely accidental. And although OUr Saviour was unquestionably the central Figure of Calvary, many other persons-- by God's Providence -- took part in the living drama of the first Good Friday. These persons too provide instruction for our own lives.
In this book, Father Rengers draws from Scripture, history and early Christian traditions to complete our knowledge of those events and of the persons who took part in them.
Stories include those of: Judas, St. Peter, The Enemies of Christ, St. John the Apostle, Simon of Cyrene, St. Mary Magdalen, The Devoted Women, Mary, The Mother of Our Lord, Herod Antipas and Pontius. Pilate. |
