Passion Plays

In the Middle Ages "Passion Plays" were put on to re-enact the story of Easter, in the same way as we have nativity plays to re-enact the Christmas story. Passion Plays are still enacted today in Spain and Latin America, but are not common in Britain, except for the tradition of Good Friday processions, which used to be part of the plays. Having said that, two noticeable modern examples are the controversial 2004 Mel Gibson movie "The Passion of the Christ" and the Manchester Passion, televised in 2006.
