In 1632 calamity struck the small town of Oberammergau in Germany’s Bavarian Alps. Ravaged by Bubonic Plague, over a quarter of its inhabitants had died before desperate civic leaders made a remarkable covenant with God. Legend has it that from that day in October 1633, not one additional infection or death occurred!
Today, just as promised almost 400 years ago, townsfolk re-enact the final scenes of Christ’s life and death, every ten years, in the Oberammergau Passion Play. Watch the program now to learn about this world-famous event, and its enduring significance for us!
