Once in a lifetime experience.
Once every ten years, a tiny village in the heart of the Bavarian Alps re-enacts an event which draws people of every religious denomination to one of the most moving stories ever told.

The next Passion Play will take place in 2010

THE PASSION OF CHRIST

HISTORY OF THE OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY
The play depicts Christ's final passion. In 1632 when Oberammergau was gripped by a deadly plague which killed  half of the town's population and in a final, desperate act of faith, the village elders pledged that if the village was spared, it would re-enact the passion of Christ every 10 years - for all eternity.   Miraculously the village was spared and the very first Passion Play took place in 1632.
