St Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary, with St Matilda and St Bridget, wishing to know something of the Passion of Jesus Christ, offered up fervent and special prayers upon which Our Lord revealed to them [3]:

1. The plenary indulgence and remittance of your sins.
2. You will be free from the pains of purgatory.
3. If you should die before completing the said three years, for you it will be the same as if you had completed them.
4. Upon your death, it will be the same as if you had shed all your blood for the holy faith.
5. I will descend from heaven to take your soul and that of your relatives until the fourth generation.

Be it known that the number of armed soldiers were 150; those who trailed me while I was bound were 23. The number of executioners of justice were 83; the blows received on my head were 150; those on my stomach, 108; kicks on my shoulders, 80. I was led, bound with cords by the hair 24 times; spits in the face were 180; I was beaten on the body 6,666 times; beaten on the head 110 times. I was roughly pushed, and at 12 o’clock, was lifted up by the hair; pricked with thorns and pulled by the beard 23 times. I received 20 wounds on the head; thorns of marine junks were 72; pricks of thorns in the head, 110; mortal thorns in the forehead, 3. Afterwards, I was flogged and dressed as a mocked king; wounds in the body were 1,000. The soldiers who led me to the Calvary were 608; those who watched me were 3 and those who mocked me were 1,008; the drops of blood that I lost were 28,430.
