PASSION (post-classical Lat. passio, formed from pati, passus, to suffer, endure)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 887 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PASSION (post-classical Lat. passio, formed from pati, passus, to suffer, endure) , a
term
  which is used in two main senses: (I) the suffering of pain, and (2) feeling or emotion. The first is chiefly used of the sufferings of Jesus Christ, extending from the time of the agony in the
garden
  until his death on the
cross
 . In this sense passio was used by the early Christian writers, and the
term
  is also applied to the sufferings and deeds of saints and martyrs, synonymously with aria or gesta, a book containing such being known as a " passional " (liber passionalis) or
`' passionary " (passionarius). The order of Passionist Fathers, the full title of which is the "
Congregation
  of the Discaiced Clerks of the Most Holy
Cross
  and Passion of cur Lord Jesus Christ," was founded by St Paul of the Cross (
Paolo
  della Croce, 16941775; canonized 1867) in 1720, but full sanction was not obtained for the order till 1737, when the first monastery was established at Monte Argentario,
Orbetello
 . The secondary sense of " passion " is due to the
late
  use of passio to translate the Greek philosophijal term wb.Oor, the classical Latin equivalent being afecius. The
modern
  use generally restricts the term to strong and uncontrolled emotion.
