THE OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY 2010
Once every ten years, a tiny, picturesque village in the heart of the Bavarian Alps re-enacts an event which draws people of every religious denomination from four corners of the globe to witness one of the most poignant and moving stories ever told.
HISTORY OF THE OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY
The play depicts the tragic and moving chronicle of Christ's final passion. Its history stems from 1632 when Oberammergau was gripped by a deadly plague which killed almost half of the town's population. 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 villagers planned the very first Passion Play in 1632.
Tradition dictates that the play's cast of thousands is drawn from all walks of life from within the village. The coveted role of Christ could be the village postman, butcher or school teacher. The cast spend almost two years painstakingly rehearsing every detail of the story for a once only performance of a lifetime.
