Passion Plays staged in Poland have a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. Dramatic presentations depicting Jesus Christ’s suffering and death have been subsequently undertaken over the ages. Polish Salesians, working in the field of education and evangelism, especially among young people, have also repeatedly directed paschal events with the help of Polish youth and for them. The three contemporary, but very different presentations of the mysteries of the death and resurrection of Christ, prepared by three different Salesian environments, in Czerwińsk, Krakow and Poznan, indicate a continuous need of updating this topic. Realized with the use of various modern theatrical forms and means under the supervision of professionals in theatre arts, they still attract a wide audience.
Since the beginning of their foundation, the Salesians have placed great emphasis on educating young people by developing their passions and interests. The theater has always been present in Salesian work. Today, there are still groups that put emphasis on this form of education. This refers to schools, oratories or student theaters. It is noteworthy that, despite the socio-cultural changes, there are passionate people who can help other people develop their skills and spirituality.

Salezjanie od początku powstania zgromadzenia kładą duży nacisk na wychowanie młodych ludzi rozwijając ich pasje i zainteresowania. Teatr był zawsze obecny w dziełach salezjańskich. Dzisiaj ciągle można spotkać grupy kładące nacisk na te formę wychowania. Tak jest w przypadku teatrów szkolnych, oratoryjnych czy działających wśród studentów. Godnym uwagi jest to, że ciągle, mimo zmian społeczno-kulturowych pojawiają się pasjonaci, za których wzorem inni młodzi ludzie mogą rozwijać zarówno swe umiejętności, jak i duchowość.
