- Lydda, a beautiful courtesan, gives herself over to the allurements of the world. Underneath all this apparent abandon, Lydda possesses a remaining spark of her better self, which needs but the fanning of conscience to stir it into a flame of spirituality that will make clear and plain the way to Godliness. Casing off her garments of unrighteousness, she clothes herself in the black robes of contrition and starts in search of the God of light and spiritual purity. At the tomb of the Holy One, she is met by an angel, who tells her that the one whom she is seeking is not there. Lydda does not know that she has already found Him and His spirit has already entered into her life; shedding tears of penitence, she is purified and sanctified.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Lydda, a beautiful courtesan, surrounded by all the luxuries and effete indulgences of the time, with little thought of the immortality of her soul, gives herself over to all the allurements of the world, the flesh and the sins that surround the life of one who has been gifted with all of nature's personal charms and weaknesses, to attract and win those who would possess them regardless of cost or consequences. Underneath all this apparent abandon, Lydda possesses a remaining spark of her better self, which needs but the fanning of conscience to stir it into a flame of spirituality that will make clear and plan the way to Godliness. The feeble cry of the leper, the plaintive tones of the suffering child arouses within her the consciousness of her own selfishness, the realization of her wickedness, the feeling of the divine presence that points her to a better and higher life. Casting off her garments of unrighteousness, she clothes herself in the black robes of contrition and starts in search of the God of light and spiritual purity in deeds of kindness and words of love and good cheer. She helps the sorrowing and comforts the distressed as she goes on her way seeking the fulfillment of her great hope to find the God-man whom she has heard has the power to forgive sin and to purify her soul. At the tomb of the Holy One, she is met by an angel who tells her that the one whom she is seeking is not there, pointing and saying, "He is gone." Lydda does not know that she has already found Him and His spirit has already entered into her life; shedding tears of penitence, she is purified and sanctified, a redeemed woman blessed by the spirit of peace and purity.—The Film Index synopsis
