In 1930, Father Hassenforder together with youngsters of his parish came up with the idea of staging a Passion play written by an Alsacian priest, father Auguste Schmidlin. From its first performance on 22 March 1930, the Passion play met with an instant and resounding success which ingrained the tradition now a part of the city of Masevaux. Going beyond the purely theatrical, the Passion play becomes a living testimony of faith giving true meaning to the weeks preceding Easter. The simplicity and the poetic beauty of the (German) text, forcefully evoking the writings of the Bible and the Gospel, contribute to the renown of this tradition.
