The Passionists Of The Southwest Or The Holy Brotherhood: A Revelation Of The Penitentes (1893) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167171000)

The Passionists of the Southwest or The Holy Brotherhood: A Revelation of the Penitentes is a book written by Alexander M. Darley in 1893. The book is a detailed account of the Penitentes, a religious brotherhood in the Southwest United States. The Penitentes were a group of Catholic men who practiced self-flagellation and other extreme forms of penance as a means of atoning for their sins. The book describes their rituals, including the reenactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and their devotion to the Virgin Mary. Darley also explores the history and origins of the Penitentes, as well as their role in the communities they lived in. The book provides a unique insight into the religious practices of a little-known group of people in the American Southwest during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
