The quaint village of Oberammergau is world famous for its spectacular Passion Play, performed by the local villagers just once every decade. We invite you to join us during these very special‘Once-in-a-Lifetime’ experiences in 2010!
Inquire and book your seat early as these tours & river cruises will sell out by late 2009!
In 1634, the Black Death or Plague decimated Europe’s population. The little village of Oberammergau remained untouched until a homesick villager returned one night, unknowingly bringing the plague with him. Almost 100 villagers died as a result. Frightened survivors prayed & made a vow to God that if they were saved from the plague, once every 10 years they would reenact the life, crucifixion, & passion of Christ. From then on, there were no further deaths from the plague – and the villagers have fulfilled their pledge ever since!
