Since 1634 and now only every ten years, the tiny, picturesque Bavarian Village of Oberammergau performs The Passion Play. This tragic and deeply moving chronicle depicts the passion of Christ at the time of the Crucifixion. The cast is made up exclusively of the local villagers and equals any professional production in both sheer spectacle and emotion. This is an extraordinary community effort. Join us on this journey that will exceed every expectation.
