Abstract
From the middle of the seventeenth century, the cult of St Francis Xavier flourished in the south of the German-speaking area. Since he was the first person who engaged in missionary work in the East India, the Jesuits in this area praised him not only in printed literature and pictures, but also in drama, and promoted the world mission. Xavier was also well-known for his ‘love of God’. Thus, many Jesuit dramas on Xavier dramatized Xavier’s prayer linked to the love of God or depicted the interior development of Xavier led by the love of God. A major element of these dramas focused on the education of the boys at the Jesuit school, who were expected to become good followers of Xavier.
