A play of life and death, promised in a moment of mortal threat - this is the beginning of 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 Oberammergauer people swore an oath that they would perform the "Play of the Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ" every ten years.

In the year 2010, the Community of Oberammergau will perform the Passion Play they have preserved throughout the centuries with singular continuity for the 41st time.
