See the Passion Play with Czech Heritage Tours

Nearly 400 years ago the history of the Passion Play began. The plague raged in many parts of Europe and did not spare Oberammergau, Germany. In 1633 the Oberammergau villagers promised to perform the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ every tenth year, in so far as no one was to die of the plague anymore. The villagers were answered by God and therefore in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. From May 16 to October 4, 2020 the 42nd Passion Play will take place in Oberammergau.
