The Passion of the Savior

The Passion of the Savior

A stunning visual reflection on the story of Christ's
passion and death as told in the four Gospels.
As you view the photographs, you'll feel like you're
"right there" watching our Savior as he makes
the ultimate sacrifice of his life for our salvation.


The photos are from the Salvatorian Archives' collections
from the Passion Plays performed in the following schools:

- Salvatorian Seminary - St. Nazianz, Wisconsin -
- Mother of the Savior Seminary - Blackwood, New Jersey -
- Jordan Seminary - Menominee, Michigan -
- St. Pius X Seminary - Rio Dell & Galt, California -
- Trinity Prep Seminary - Sioux City, Iowa -
- J.F.K. Prep - St. Nazianz, Wisconsin -

It was a long-standing tradition (from 1939 to 1981) for the seminaries and schools conducted by the Salvatorian Fathers and Brothers to present "The Passion of the Savior" during the season of Lent. Each year, thousands of people came to the plays, and for many people it became a yearly ritual, a part of their Lenten spiritual journey.

While these performances are now only memory, we hope that this reflection on "The Passion of the Savior" - using many photographs from the performances of the Passion Play in the various Salvatorian schools - will help provide a moment of peace and spiritual growth for you.

This 16-minute DVD (see note below *) audio-video presentation is a stunning visual reflection on the story of Christ's passion and death, using quotes from all four Gospels. With its classical soundtrack, it makes the perfect meditation and reflection for Lent - or any other time we need to be reminded of just how much God loves us!

Father, forgive them

No greater love than this ... than to lay down one's life.

Jesus is taken down from the cross

Into your hands I commit my spirit
