A re-telling of the story of the Passion of Jesus Christ. Can be done in public (complete with Audience Participation on the "Crucify Him!" bit) or as a historical recreation on screen. In Medieval England, they were also known as "Mystery Plays". The theatrical versions of these date back to the Middle Ages, while artistic renderings of the Passion go back to Antiquity. The original purpose of the plays was simply to re-enact the Passion in drama as an extension of a Passion mass. Since most people couldn't read, Passion plays and Nativity plays were used to transmit the stories of Jesus' crucifixion and His birth to the general population. The Passion story is perhaps most depicted in visual Art, since it is perhaps the most popular of the Art Subjects available in the Western tradition besides the Madonna and Child. A side note on etymology: the word passion in this case means "suffering" (from Latin pati: to suffer). "Passion" only took on the modern meaning of "intense love" after the pains of the crucifixion came to be associated with Jesus's love for all people. Not to be confused with the art film Passion Play or with the album by Jethro Tull. Examples |

Each scene in Stations of the Cross is modeled after one Station of the Cross, following the Catholic tradition of how Jesus went from being condemned to death to his burial. The role of Jesus is played by the soon-to-be-Confirmed Maria, the Virgin Mary is played by her abusive mother, the righteous Simon of Cyrene is played by a sin-shaming priest, and the women of Jerusalem are condensed into a schoolboy who has a crush on Maria. Although each scene only loosely follows its respective station, it ends as one would expect a Passion to. | |

Monty Python's Life of Brian is a comedy, so it shifts focus away from the brutal execution of Christ to a more humorous character who named Brian, who was born in the manger next to Jesus's. Because of their proximity, Brian ends up being mistaken for the real Messiah and gets sentenced to crucifixion by the Romans. Only for those being crucified next to Brian begin whistling and singing "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" to cheer him up. | |

Jesus of Montreal. Has one of the most challenging takes on the plot. In modern Montreal, Canada, a group of actors put a very different kind of passion play that riles up the church while the public eats it up. Meanwhile, the actors' lives themselves resembles the Passion after a fashion. | |

American Dad!: In "Season's Beatings", Stan wants to play Jesus in the mall's upcoming Passion Play like he did for several years, but he is deemed too fat for the role and is instead made a Mall Santa. To add insult to injury, Roger gets chosen to play Jesus (while drunk, no less), infuriating Stan enough to beat the crap out of him, resulting in him getting excommunicated from the church. | |

The Last Temptation of Christ: Subverted Trope. Just as Christ is put on the Cross, an angel rescues him and lets him live a life without the burden of being the Messiah. Jesus goes on to marry Mary Magdalene and lament the fact that people like Paul of Tarsus continue to use the story of his Passion as the center of a new religion. The Twist Ending plays with the trope further. The movie is a Double Subversion, because the angel Christ was the Devil wearing a disguise, who gave Christ a vision of what could be in order to tempt Christ not to fulfill his mission to save humanity from sin. | |

The "St. Matthew Passion" by Johann Sebastian Bach is a setting of one of the biblical accounts of the Passion interspersed with reflective hymns and chorales. It's generally regarded as some of the ultimate Awesome Music. As is his St. John Passion. Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach wrote twenty-one settings of the Passions. Thus saith The Other Wiki. |

Warhammer 40,000 has its own take: mystery plays are performed concerning the life of the Emperor, along with some less savory interludes for the amusement of the great unwashed masses. As noted by Inquisitor Vail, the Ecclesiarchs probably believe a few fart jokes are a reasonable price for actually getting people in the church. Similarly, many Forge Worlds need a few days of essential maintenance done on the production lines, so plays are put on to prevent the populace from getting too rowdy while the machines are off. |

This Bites! has Luffy telling Magellan this tale when he compares Ace's upcoming execution as similar in nature. Magellan and Jimbei are both rather confused by the comparison, since while Jesus was a saint, Ace is a wanted pirate. Luffy clarifies that the connecting point is not the nature of the person who was executed, but rather, the motives of the people at the top who ordered it. He doesn't clarify anything beyond saying the reasoning is stupid, but since in canon the World Government wanted Ace executed purely because he was Gol D. Roger's son, the connecting point was that the people up top saw both those people as threats to their respective rule and status quo. | |

The Green Mile tells the story of JC, a misunderstood prisoner who's been sentenced to death despite his innocence. Not only does he have the kindness and love of Christ, he also helps to ease the pain of several characters suffering from disease, similar to how Christ healed the sick. This sounds typical for a Messianic Archetype, even if JC's brutal death by electric chair comes much closer to a Crucifixion than most Christ-analogues, but one detail makes it far closer to a re-telling of the Passion than just a tale of martyrdom. This JC eases pain by causing miracles, curing cancer, bestowing nigh immortality, and blinding people with shining light. He even telepathically feels the pain and evil of everyone else in the world and wants to die because of that compassion: he dies for the sins of the world. It's not clear if JC's actually God or an angel or a prophet, but he's explicitly "a miracle of God" and it seems like he's supposed to be whatever Stephen King thinks Jesus was. | |

The Empath: The Luckiest Smurf time-traveling story "Smurfed Behind: The Passion Of The Smurfs", with Judas Iscariot resembling Gargamel and having a cat similar to Azrael. Rather than hanging himself, Judas gets chased off a cliff by Puppy and is pierced through by a tree when he chases after the Smurfs.note Thus fulfilling what Acts 1:18 said about Judas' death, that he "fell headlong" and "he burst asunder in the middle and all his organs spilled out." | |

South Park: In the episode "The Passion of the Jew", Eric Cartman dresses like Hitler and uses a group of Christians' love of The Passion of the Christ to get them to help him to exterminate the Jews, making them think that the German for "It is time for revenge. We must exterminate the Jews" is Aramaic. Hilarity Ensues. The episode is extremely critical of the movie, but it ends with An Aesop about Christianity. An earlier episode, "Spontaneous Combustion" has a brief Passion Play in which Cartman plays the role of Jesus. Cartman is crucified on a hill and is left by Kyle and Stan, who forget about him for three weeks. When they return, Cartman has nearly starved to death and is clearly emaciated. |

Cyberpunk 2077 has one of these, with a twist; the man playing the role of Christ, Joshua Stephenson, is a death row inmate who found religion and actually has himself crucified as he wanted to be an Inspirational Martyr like Jesus, with a production studio recording the whole thing. Naturally, the few mainstream Christians left were pissed, with an angry mob forming outside the studio as it's happening. Even if befriended, V is unable to talk him out of it and can even drive the nails in themself so he at least dies with a friend by his side. | |
