Born from a promise made to God, Oberammergau’s Passion Play tells the story of the trial, suffering and death of Christ. In 1633, as the plague swept through Germany, the citizens prayed for mercy. They were spared, and today still honor their pledge to stage this play once a decade. 2020 CRUISE FARES VIKING LONGSHIPS CATEGORY BROCHURE FROM MUNICH, A CITY STEEPED IN TRADITION.
