10/18/2019

0 Comments

 
​The Oberammergau Passion Play, one of Europe’s greatest pageants and tourism draws, is held every 10 years in the German town f Oberammergau. Describing Jesus Christ’s final days, the dramatic performance will be presented 103 times between mid-May and early October of 2020. The most celebrated religious drama in the world will entice the devoted to a charming Bavarian village that honors a commitment townspeople made centuries ago. The Passion Play is a local production, performed entirely by amateur actors who have been residents of the village for 20 years or more.

​The villager’s pledge dates back to 1633, when they promised that if God would spare them any more deaths from the pestilence that had desolated the community, they would perform a passion play every 10 years. Their prayers were answered, and the first play was portrayed the next year. The play is about five hours long divided into two parts by a three-hour break for eating, unwinding or exploring the area.
 
The Oberammergau Passion Play is always a bestseller and is nearly sold out; tickets went on sale in 2017, but there is still availability on selected dates. Why not combine the Passion Play with other touring options in Europe, on a Danube River cruise, Italy, or the Holy Land? Below are some opportunities. Contact us for details.
