By Montrose J. (Translator) Moses and Montrose Jonas Moses

Book Overview

The Passion Play in Oberammergau is a religious play written by Joseph Alois Daisenberger in 1922. The play is divided into three parts and features twenty-four tableaux. It tells the story of the last days of Jesus Christ, including his betrayal, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. The play is performed in the small town of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany, every ten years by the local community. The tradition dates back to 1634 when the town made a vow to perform the play every ten years in exchange for being spared from the bubonic plague. The book provides a detailed description of the play and its history, as well as photographs of the performances. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in religious plays and the history of Oberammergau.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
