*The word of the Greek title (Angiography) has two meanings, that of pottery painting and a medical imaging technique used to visualize the insideof blood vessels

**The Greek title refers to a set of mainly vowel or consonant transitions due to their adjustment to words’ changes, progression through time or local dialects and accents. The Greek grammatical word that is used to describe these shiftings is “Passions” (same as Passions of Christ).
