Mary’s Pilgrims will bring you to witness the Oberammergau Passion Play which only being played once every ten years.
In 1633, the residents of Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany, vowed that if God spared them from the bubonic plague ravaging the region, they would produce a play thereafter for all time every 10 years depicting the life and death of Jesus. The death rate among adults had risen from one person per 1000 per year in October 1632 to twenty in the month of March 1633. After their vow, the adult death rate slowly subsided to one in the month of July 1633. The villagers believed they had been spared and thus kept their part of the vow when the play was first performed in 1634. The Passion Play is telling the story from the final period of Jesus life from his visit to Jerusalem and leading to his execution by crucifixion.
