walking distance of the Passion Play Theater
10
Days • 13 Meals
Explore the wonder of old world castles
and carillons, three of Europe's most
spellbinding cities and a seat at one of
this decade's only performances of the
Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany.
Come follow in the footsteps of this
centuries-old tradition!
|
|
In the middle of the Thirty
Years War, after months of
suffering and death from the
plague, the Oberammergauers
swore an oath that they would
perform the "Play of the
Suffering, Death and
Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus
Christ" every ten years. At
Pentecost 1634, they fulfilled
their pledge for the first time.
Once again in 2010 this unique
tradition will attract visitors
from all over the world.
Only the inhabitants of
Oberammergau are allowed to act
on stage and to an audience of
4,800. The artistic background
to the set and costumes is
provided by the long and still
lively tradition of woodcarving
and painting, inherited from
generation to generation in
traditional family businesses
since the Middle Ages. Alpine
meadows and towering mountains
provide a fascinating backdrop,
as this deeply moving,
centuries-old spectacle is
played out by the villagers.
