A Passion Play is a dramatic presentation that depicts the trial, suffering, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. These performances are often staged during the Christian season of Lent, particularly leading up to Easter. They aim to convey the significance of the events in the New Testament and reflect on themes of sacrifice and redemption. Typically performed by local communities, Passion Plays can vary in length and style, ranging from simple reenactments to elaborate productions with music and costumes. One of the most famous is the Oberammergau Passion Play, held in Germany every ten years, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world.
