[The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Anna Catherine Emmerich]@TWC D-Link bookThe Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ INTRODUCTION 96/134
I cannot describe in detail all that there was in this part of the room, but all kinds of arrangements were being made there for preparing the Paschal Supper.
Above this hearth of altar, there was a species of niche in the wall, in front of which I saw an image of the Paschal Lamb, with a knife in its throat, and the blood appearing to flow drop by drop upon the altar; but I do not remember distinctly how that was done.
In a niche in the wall there were three cupboards of various colours, which turned like our tabernacles, for opening or closing.
A number of vessels used in the celebration of the Pasch were kept in them; later, the Blessed Sacrament was placed there. In the rooms at the sides of the supper-room, there were some couches, on which thick coverlids rolled up were placed, and which could be used as beds.
There were spacious cellars beneath the whole of this building.
