Jesus in the hours prior to and including his trial and execution by crucifixion.
The Crucifixion is an event central to Christian beliefs.
And Especially passionate Sedmicy devout christians spent days of quadragesima
not only in a pray, but also in reading spiritual books. The book "the
Legend on free travail and on the last supper of our Lord Iisusa of the Christ,
kako voleyu svoeyu ours for the sake of rescue passion preterpe" used
especial popularity.
This collection more known under the name narrates "Passion
(Christianity)" about last days mortal life IIsusa
of the Christ, His crucifixion, Anastasis and a convergence in a hell. In
the book the especial place is occupied with episodes almost not touched in
canonical gospels.
The cycle

in the Russian hand-written literature, in spiritual verses. There was a tradition
of the general house reading of "Passion
