Czech term or phrase: Pašijové čtení

Can anyone throw some light on my problem? .... If any of you guys can offer anymore suggestions it would be much appreciated. ...:)

I am looking for the English equivalent of a religious book containing sermons related to the Passions of Christ and the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the ritual of delivering sermons in the Holy Week). One of my colleagues has found a possible Czech synonym "Pašijové čtení". http://www.kultura21.cz/content/view/378/

Is that what I am looking for?

I don't know if it would help or not but the Romanian term for that book is: STRASTNIC

Thanks

Passional

Explanation:
if you are looking for one word for such a book, then this is a "Passional." As the dictionary definition below explains, not all such books focus on Christ's Passion, but this is the default meaning, and you can probably make it clear from context.

Other suggestions above are fine for the liturgy, but none of them actually mean the book as such.

The Passion is the Christian theological term used for the events and suffering – physical, spiritual, and mental – of Jesus in the hours before and including his trial and execution by crucifixion

The reading of the Passion during Holy Week dates back to the fourth century. It began to be intoned (rather than just spoken) in the Middle Ages, at least as early at the 8th century. 9th-century manuscripts have "litterae significativae" indicating interpretive chant, and later manuscript begin to specify exact notes to be sung......
