Senakulo or Passion Play 2016

The Senakulo or Passion Play is a drama about the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ : his trial, suffering, and death. This is one of the traditions of Semana Santa in some Christian groups, particularly Catholics. In 2016, the event is run from March 20 to 27.

The development of a Senakulo is similar to History of Easter. It originated as a ritual of the Church, which sets the Gospel of Good Friday should sing in different parts shared by several people. Later, they have their own forms Senakulo.
