DELIVERS SERMON
ON THE PASSION PLAY
Rev. Father Kraus Relates His.
tory of Production

Rev. Josaphat Kraus, author and
director of the passion play, which is
to be produced at the Coliseum Octo-
Der II to 16 under the auspices of the
Franciscan fathers, preached to a.
large congregation at st. Boniface
church yesterday morning with the
passion play as his text.
The passion play as given abroad
and planned here is no amusement en-
terprise," said Father Josapfat ION
the contrary, it is intended to be
looked upon as a nact of devotion pure
and simple"
Father Josaphat discussed the pas
sion play as follows:
But of all the religious exercises that
may be classed as devotions extraor-
binary. none occupies a more impor-
tant position than the sacred plays or
passion plays. The church, In her di-
vine wisdom, has at all times fully
realized the power Of the stage for
good or evil and has in various ways
exerted herself to make this power
her own. The lives of the saints and
martyrs were fertile field for the re-
ligious playwright; more so the life of
the Savior and the passion play with
Christ actually portrayed on the stage
IS anything but an innovation. Times
cially in France, which caused the
church TO forbid the presentation of
religious plays
In $50 A. d. the village of Oberam-
mergau was visited by plague which
played havoc with the population. To
appease the divine wrath the people
promised TO portray the life of the
Savior on the stage every 10 years
should the malady gather no more
victims. Their prayer was heard, for
at its height the scourge subsided.
Since then the Inhabitants of Ober-
ammergau have' faithfully kept their
NIL q mr. dc ooh 3 f~<>
all parts of the world to witness the
wonderful spectacle.
