Oberammergau - The Passion Play & Austria

A play of life and death, promised in a moment of mortal threat - so
began the history of the Oberammergau Passion Play in 1633. 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, on a stage put up in the cemetery above the
fresh graves of the plague victims. And in 2010 this promise continues,
with the longest running play in history– The Passion Play.tinerary
