The
history of the Oberammergau Passion Play began
in 1633. As an outcome to the months
of dying and suffering from the plague, the
people of the village took a vow to perform
the “Play of Suffering, Dying and Resurrection
of Our Lord Jesus Christ” only once every ten
years. 2010 will mark the 41st performance
of this extraordinary centuries-old tradition. The
five-hour performance reenacts the story of
Jesus, upon his entry into Jerusalem to his
death on the Cross, and his Resurrection. The
famous open-air stage of the Passion Play theatre
provides a most dramatic setting for this unique
cultural and religious event. We hope
you will join us!
