Once a decade Oberammergau, a small town in Germany, perform a play depicting the life & death of Jesus.

In 2020 the community of Oberammergau in Germany, will perform the Passion Play for the 42nd time. 

How did this tradition start?  In 1633, the residents of Oberammergau vowed that if they were spared from the bubonic plague sweeping the region, they would produce a play for all time depicting the life and death of Jesus.

The first play was performed in 1634, and it has run ever since – for 380 years. It’s the world’s longest-running play and widely regarded as the most important Passion Play in the world.

It truly is an event that consumes the whole town and one that people travel from all over the world to see.

There are numerous ways you can structure a holiday that includes experiencing Oberammergau and the Passion Play, however, the one I would choose would be to book one of Scenic’s Jewels of Europe river cruises that feature the play.

With everything included and knowing you will be expertly cared for every stop of the journey, the only thing you really need to think about is which itinerary to book!
