DOES THE PASSION FRUIT INCITE PASSION?

I was drawn to the one fruit growing on the Passiflora plant which was offered for sale at the Farmer's Market. If I am not mistaken, there are two types of this plant, one bears fruits that are green and the other a reddish brown.  The passion fruit here is the green type.
I have often wondered why the fruit was called Passion Fruit.  Is it because it is an aphrodisiac that would incite passion in a person after he or she eats it? Interesting thought, eh?
Actually, the truth turned out to be very different from my naughty thoughts.  So, how did the passion fruit get its name?  The answer is from the Passion flower.  Huh?  Yeah!  Please hear me out.  Here is how the story goes ...

How did the passion flower get its name?

When Christian missionaries arrived in South America in the 16th century, they found a plant which they felt was a good omen for their mission. They called it the passion flower because to them it symbolized the death of Christ. The five sepals and five petals of the flower, which are similar in appearance, represent the disciples without Peter and Judas. The double row of colored filaments, known as the corona, signifies the halo around Christ's head or the crown of thorns. The five stamens and the three spreading styles with their flattened heads symbolize the wounds and the nails respectively. The vines tendrils resemble the whips used to scourge Christ.
