The Pieta is a subject of Christian art depicting Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus Christ, most often found in sculpture, one of which is done by the famous artist Michelangelo which is currently housed in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.
The Pieta features the maternal love and reverence of the Blessed Virgin to her Son, grasping the tortured body of Jesus Christ.
In the Philippines, the life and death of Jesus Christ is being commemorated in many ways. At SSJB, the School Administration decided to present a play via the Pieta Sarsuela, highlighting Jesus body being cradled by His distraught Mother Mary after His death.
The Pieta Sarsuela emphasizes the importance and the vital role played by the Blessed Virgin Mary in Jesus’ life, from the time the Archangel St. Gabriel announced to her that she will be the mother of the Son of God who will be the Savior of mankind, up to His death. The Sarsuela at SSJB was participated by both the teachers as well as the students.
The Pieta Sarsuela is a beautiful art fom, a theatrical spectacle with a combination of songs and dances, but pantominical in action.
