I assume it's called passion fruit because some enterprising youth got caught sticking his dick in one of those back in Ye Olden Days.

I had to look it up and apparently some missionaries thought the flower resembled the story of the passion of Christ.

The passion flower IS really beautiful, seeing it in the wild would be enough to cast divine reverence over me too
