There are very few persons in Pittsburgh who have not seen or heard of the Passion Play during Lent. Many have seen it several times. Over the years, many people have come to consider attendance at Veronica's Veil as an integral part of their Lenten devotions.
Buses bring children and adults from as far as Ohio and West Virginia, and Michigan.
The Lenten drama is especially popular to the faithful people of the Wheeling, Erie, Youngstown, and Steubenville dioceses. In recent years, moreover, genuine efforts have been made to contact Christians of all denominations in these areas, with the result that many ministers and their congregations have become the strongest admirers of a 'story' that moves the hearts, minds, and emotions of all who see the Lenten Production.
