The Passion of Christ
The suffering and death that the Fathers read as sacrifice, prophecy, and victory
The Passion is the suffering, crucifixion, and death of Jesus Christ and its saving meaning. Drawn from the Gospel passion narratives, it was contemplated early by writers like Melito in his On Pascha. The Fathers read it through prophecy fulfilled, sacrifice offered, and victory over death won, seeing in Christ's death not defeat but the heart of salvation.
