Travel has long been a part of the history and tradition

of the Christian life. During biblical times, travel

was necessary in order to communicate the Word of

God and grow the religious community. Remember

Abraham’s journey and the travels of the Israelites?

Throughout history, travel was a way God led his

people from where they were to a place of blessing.

For the Christian, sacred sites and destinations remain

as integral to faith as ever. Although the means of

transportation have changed, the reason for taking a

religious journey remains much the same.

Religious travel offers wonderful benefits including

spiritual enlightenment. A wonderful way to vacation,

www.globusjourneys.ca 9 Oberammergau 2010 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.

About the Passion 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.

10 The Passion Play Theater has an open- air stage framed by magnificent alpine scenery. A covered auditorium has almost

5,000 seats. All Globus guests enjoy first- class 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 Oberammergau. Globus offers convenient accommodations in the town center which include rooms with private bath or shower.

No t e : There are no single rooms, and guests traveling alone are required to share in Oberammergau.

Book Now— Oberammergau Vacations Fill up Quickly! Since 1950, Globus has handled considerable allotments of Passion Play arrangements. Each year, the demand for vacations including the Passion Play has been overwhelming—it will be no different in 2010. If you miss the Passion Play this time, you’ll have to wait until 2020 for another chance to see this event of a lifetime.
