The Mysterious Annual Easter Event that was a main stay for many years in Pittsburgh

 The Passion Play the mysterious looking purple posters where seen all around the Pittsburgh area every Easter  for many decades 

 Performed at St Micheal's  Roman Catholic  Social Hall  in the South Side of Pittsburgh It was a live actor play that showed the persecution and rising of Jesus Christ put on by local Parishioners and other volunteers including a couple of my neighbors from Carrick  That Included Tom Hayes from St Basils .

as a little kid the posters where most unusual and mysterious to us till we where old enough to go see the play. When i was in 5th grade .

Which drew crowds from across 3 states 

Unfortunately St Micheal's was caught up and closed by the diocese and the buildings now sit in decay and church turned into apartments
