A passion play is the dramatic portrayal of the passion of Jesus Christ from the last supper to his Crucifixion. They are plays in which his trail, suffering and death are depicted. It is a traditional part of Lent in various Christian groups, in particular the Roman Catholic Church and the first one was told in Latin in the early 1300's, the Benedictbeurn Passion Play.
In the 1500's certain countries such as Germany opposed them due to the religious conflicts in Europe at that time.
