A "Passion Play" is a dramatic presentation that depicts the events of the last week of the life of Jesus Christ, including his crucifixion and resurrection. These performances are often staged during the Christian season of Lent, particularly around Easter, and aim to convey the significance of Christ's sacrifice and the themes of redemption and salvation.
Traditionally, Passion Plays involve a large cast and elaborate sets, often incorporating music and choreography. One of the most famous Passion Plays is held in Oberammergau, Germany, which has been performed every ten years since 1634, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world.
