Our Passion

​​

The Szent Imre Group of the Szent Gellért Foundation from Szentegyháza (Romania, Transylvania) has been playing open-air Passion of the Christ around Easter time since 2010. The members of the Group - 40-50 persons - are Hungarian pupils, students, workers who take part voluntarily in the Passion Play to bring the story of the redemption closer to the human hearts.

The more than 35-minute performance is built on pantomime and music with: the first station when Jesus comes into Jerusalem; the last supper and the scenes from the Olive Mount; arresting Jesus; Peter's denial; Pilate's judgement; Veronica wiping Jesus' cheek; carrying the cross; the death on the cross. In the second chapter of the performance we continue with: Jesus' ressurrection; meeting Mary Magdalene and the apostles and Thomas. It ends with the assumption of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
