Sri Lankan Passion Plays are the more than 300-year-old Sri Lankan tradition of presenting Passion Plays on stage.[1][2] Negombo is the main city preserving this form of traditional drama.[3][unreliable source?] There is another tradition, known as 'Wasapuwa', which involves performing Saint Sebastian's life story. It is very popular among both Christians and non-Christians in Sri Lanka; however, its roots can not be found in the island.
