Hi Michelle. There are a few short Jonah scenes or references to Jonah in processions that survive in German-speaking Europe. The most extensive of these is a brief scene in the Heidelberg Passion Play (lines 5730-5811). That play is unusual because it pairs OT and NT episodes on the basis of typology rather than Biblical chronology. The Jonah segment is paired with the burial of Christ.
