The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

CHAPTER LXVI
19/40

He always kept some of the blood of Christ,--it dried up, but was found in his coffin in Italy.

He was buried in a town at no great distance from the locality where St.Clare passed her life.

There is a lake with an island upon it near this town, and the body of Longinus must have been taken there.' Sister Emmerich appears to designate Mantua by this description, and there is a tradition preserved in that town to the effect.

I do not know which St.Clare lived in the neighbourhood.
14 We must here remark that, in the four years during which Sister Emmerich had her visions, she described everything that had happened to the holy places from the earliest times down to our own.

More than once she beheld them profaned and laid waste, but always venerated, either publicly or privately.
