The history of the Oberammergau Passion Play begins in 1633. During the Thirty Years’ War, after much suffering and many deaths caused by the plague, the surving population of Oberammergau vowed that they would perform the “play of the suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ” every ten years if they were spared from extinction.

At Whitsun in 1634 they kept their promise for the first time. By the middle of the 18th century the fame of Oberammergau had spread, drawing spectators from all over Germany. In 2010, the village will perform the play for the 41st time, continuing the tradition of this unique, world-famous event.
