En Licovrisí, una aldea de griegos bajo el dominio turco, se representa la Pasión de Cristo una vez cada siete años. Los sabios o notables eligen entre los habitantes del pueblo a aquellos a los que más identifican con cada personaje del Evangelio. En esta ocasión, al poco de haber repartido los papeles, llega un grupo de griegos harapientos cuyo pueblo fue arrasado por los turcos y buscan un lugar donde asentarse. Los mandatarios de Licovrisí, temerosos de la enfermedad que traen consigo y no queriendo compartir su riqueza de pueblo próspero los expulsan, pero aquellos no van muy lejos y se refugian en las cuevas de un monte cercano, el Sarakina.
A Greek village will put on a passion play, and they select townspeople for the various parts.

Great idea, but I don't believe that it supports a book of this length. The characters are well-imagined. ( )
