 The
quaint village of Oberammergau is world
famous for its spectacular Passion Play,
performed by the locals just once a decade.
In 1634 the Black Death decimated Europe’s
population. Oberammergau remained untouched
until a homesick villager returned one
night, unknowingly bringing with him the
dreaded plague. Almost 100 villagers died as
a result.
Frightened survivors vowed that if God saved
them from the plague, once every 10 years
they would reenact the agony and crucifixion
of Christ. From then on there were no
further deaths from the plague—and the
villagers have fulfilled their pledge ever
since.
Globus invites you to experience this
legendary event on one of the special
vacations being offered in 2010.

About the Play
The play portrays the Passion of Christ—from
the entry into Jerusalem to the
Resurrection. Performances are held in the
afternoon and evening with an included
dinner break in between. The play usually
consists of more than 2,000 actors, singers,
musicians, and technicians with rehearsals
starting at least a year before the event.
The Passion Play Theater has an openair
stage framed by magnificent alpine scenery.
A covered auditorium has almost 5,000 seats.
Oberammergau is a humble village wrapped
year-round in the atmosphere of the Passion
Play. The town has a pervasive peacefulness
untouched by 21st-century hubbub. Its hotels
are like country inns, cozy and comfortable,
reflecting the modesty of the village.
Not all Tour Operators have hotel space in
the lovely town of Oberammergau. Globus
offers convenient accommodations in the town
center which include rooms with private bath
or shower. Please note that there are no
single rooms, and guests traveling alone are
required to share in Oberammergau.
All Globus guests enjoy first-class seats.
