Passion Play of Stora Bjurum

In 1738, they were subjected to an investigation on behalf of the church, and the name of the incident refers to the passion play in which the female preacher Dordi Olofsdotter acted in the part of Christ.

Stora Bjurum was at the time owned by Major Count Erik Fredrik Stenbock (1686–1739), though the actual manager of the estate was his spouse, Eva Margareta Clerck (d. 1743).

Clerck became a follower of the movement, and gave its congregation refuge at the estate, which made Stora Bjurum the center of the cult.

It was pointed out that siblings of the opposite gender shared beds, and implied that the members of the congratulation participated in extramarital sex.

Holmvall also witnessed a Passion Play, where a woman, the female preacher Dordi Olofsdotter, acted in the part of Jesus Christ.
