Budaörs Passion-play,
treating the story of Christ's sufferings, was initially performed in 1933,
based on the plans and scenario of school-teacher Géza Bató and
parish-priest Miklós Aubermann. This performance became so famous between
the two world wars that many people came from far to see it in its wonderful
natural environment at Kőhegy.
Bringing about this
performance was a great example of how locals could join their forces: they
organised a public fund-raising to collect the required amount, 32 thousand
Pengős, and all scenery, accessories, costumes - and even the stage and the
theatre - were made here, on their own. However, what was even more astonishing
was that the play itself was performed by amateur actors - simple fruit-farming
villagers and their children living in Budaörs at that time.
The event was renewed in
1996, staged according to the original script, found by András Bató, the
author's grandson. Since then, it has been organised every third year in German
and Hungarian languages at en emblematic point of the city, the Kőhegy,
situated at a mere kilometre from the centre. Ever since the performance was
renewed in 1996, the Municipality of the City of Budaörs has been a
distinguished sponsor of this event.
Budaörs Passion-play
continues to be an example of how locals can co-operate. It has been realised
with the help of the municipality, the German ethnic municipality, the
association created to keep the tradition of the Passion-play alive and a
number of voluntary and professional contributors. Amateur actors - children
and adults living in Budaörs -, as well as almost every player of local music
life continue to play decisive parts in the performance.

Flower carpet at Corpus Christi
A spectacular sight of the
city two weeks after Whitsunday. Formerly, the designated route was almost 2 km long and 2 m wide. This not-so-small
surface was covered with petals for the event. The same thing happens today
around the Catholic church in the same glory as before.
