Oberammergau Passion Play 2030
Nearly 400 Years of Tradition The World famous Oberammergau Passion Play, traditionally held every 10 years, is expected to be performed again throughout summer 2030. The history dates to 1633 when plague swept Bavaria and many lives were lost. The elders vowed that if the village was purged of plague they would perform the ‘Play of the Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ’ every 10 years. The epidemic came to a standstill and in 1634 they fulfilled this promise for the first time, remaining faithful to that solemn vow ever since. 2030 will see the 43rd Passion Play season. The play follows the story of Christ’s Passion, beginning with His entry into Jerusalem and ending with His Resurrection and Transfiguration.
