See the 41st Passion Play Performed only once a Decade!

The small community of Oberammergau, Germany came together in the year 1634 to pray for God to spare them from the suffering and death of the plague then sweeping the region. They swore an oath to perform "The Play of the Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ" every ten years.

Fulfilling this promise, only the residence of Oberammergau are allowed to perform. The play is performed in years ending with a zero and involves over 2000 actors, singers, instrumentalists and technicians, all residents of the village.

We are working on a package to include visiting several of the area's castles.

Please let us know if you are interested in joining a group to witness this once in a lifetime event!
