The Passion Play, sponsored Christ the King Catholic Student Center, opens tonight at 7 p.m. at the Catholic Student Center.
The play, which is completely student run, follows Jesus Christ’s journey through his crucifixion and death.”LSU has nearly 10,000 self-identified Catholic students,” said Amy Soileau, director of Stewardship and Development for Christ the King. “Right now, we’re in the season of Lent, which is 40 days of preparation before Easter. For Catholics, this is a time for fasting, prayer and giving.” Soileau said Christ the King has put on the Passion Play for at least seven years, and it traditionally shows during Lent before Easter.Students of Christ the King will perform the Passion Play tonight at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Catholic Student Center. The play is free and open to the public.——Contact Mary Walker Baus at [email protected]
