Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Easter: A Collection for a Hundred Friends With the exercises of Passion Week, the Roman Church abruptly leaps from its commemoration of forty days of fasting in the beginning of the Gospel Year, to its celebration of the end: - the week of triumph, trial and death. The latter service is far more appropriate than the former. The asceticism of a formal Lent is scarcely in place in the lengthening days of a year renewed. But of that week at Jerusalem, in which the various lines of the Saviour´s life are twisted all together, in which all his prophecies of his personal life came to their fulfillment, in which that life taught its last lessons and he bade the world farewell, - of that week it is not strange that every word has been treasured, and that the world has been glad to reproduce every picture. Whether on canvas, or in song or story, or in the simple dramatic representation which calls the world to the Upper Ammergau, where simple peasants act out the scene; these events of Passion Week come up again and again, for the world´s study, its questioning, its admiration, and its tears! Little wonder. And as little, that he who hears the story told by a new narrator, or looks upon it from a new standpoint, always finds in it as it goes on, something that is new. Jesus had already excited the anger of the coteries of priests and politicians at Jerusalem. He did not like them, they did not like him. Nothing more different from his almost festive summer life in Galilee, than the hard collisions, now with priests, now with policemen of temple courts and the streets of the city. Such a city! A petty provincial capital numbering perhaps 50, 000 people, sustaining among themselves all the jealousies and intrigues of a garrison town, and at the same time those of an ecclesiastical metropolis.
