The Mexican Passion Play

The Passion Play, as given at ODER
ammergaT, has its counterpart in a
similar performance at the village of
PedTicena, in the State of Durango,
Mexico. Every year the poems Of
this vicinity devote Holy Week to a
representation of the Passion. Every
portion of the sad history is given
with as close an attention to details
as possible with such a class of peo-
pie, and their intense devotion and
enthusiasm is, indeed, affecting to wit
ness They come from 80 miles and
more in every direction to participate,
and at night the ground around the
church is covered with their sleeping
forms. No hardship seems too much
for them in their enthusiasm.
The Cross is carried around the
plaza, but this is only one phase of
the performance The capture of
Christ by the Roman soldiers is also
depicted His trial before Plate, the
parting of His garments by lot, and
other incidents. One man carries a
basket, in which are the crown of
thorns, the scourge, and diminutive
representations of the clothes that
were distributed by lot among the
soldiers Wide World Magazine.
