Walk in the footsteps of Martin Luther on this faith-based Germany tour highlighting the European Reformation and featuring the Oberammergau Passion Play, which has been performed every 10 years since 1634. Visit the Castle Church in Wittenberg, seen as the home of the Reformation, where Martin Luther is said to have nailed his 95 theses to the door in 1517, criticizing the sale of indulgences by the Roman Catholic Church and calling for a return to the word of God. About the Oberammergau Passion Play An opportunity that arises once every ten years is an opportunity not to be missed. A theatrical tradition since 1634, the world-famous Oberammergau Passion Play is a much- anticipated re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ - - from His entry into Jerusalem to the Resurrection - - performed only once a decade in the quaint Bavarian village of Oberammergau. In 2020, two thousand actors, singers and musicians – all residents of this tiny hamlet 60 miles from Munich – will take the stage once again to enlighten, entertain, and move an audience that has traveled from afar to witness the glory. This is your chance to be a part of this rich tradition, surrounded by majestic mountains and picturesque meadows, and to be a part of Oberammergau’s unique history. Devastated by the Black Plague in 1633, the frightened survivors of Oberammergau re-enacted the crucifixion of Christ, vowing to God that if they were spared, they would perform the Passion Play every ten years. Their prayers were answered, and 2020 will mark the 42nd production of the play as well as the town’s continued commitment to its grateful pledge.

Rieck / Dorothee Niebuhr At the end of September, Pope Francis met with a triumphal reception in the United States. But while he performed the first canonisation on U.S. soil in Washington and celebrated mass in front of two million faithful in Philadelphia, the attention focused less on the religious aspects of the trip than on the Pope’s vis- its to the sacred halls of political power. On these occasions, the Pope acted less in the role of head of the Church, and therefore Christian E. Rieck a spiritual one, and more in the role of diplomatic actor.

    Biography CHARLOTTE C. BAER, MD October 11, 1908 - August 15, 1973 Dr

    Biography CHARLOTTE C. BAER, MD October 11, 1908 - August 15, 1973 Dr. Charlotte Baer was born into a medical family of Wiesbaden, Germany where her father was a practicing physician. He served with distinction in the medical corps of the German Army in World War I and was decorated for his services. It was perhaps natural that his daughter, an only child, would attend medical school. Her father saw to it that at an appropriate time in her life she also attended a cooking school, which, no doubt, accounted for her excellence as a cook, a trait which continued throughout her lifetime. In the European tradition, she attended medical schools throughout Europe and, more than that, lived for varying periods of time in countries other than Germany, giving her considerably more than an elementary knowledge of foreign languages. By the time of her arrival in the United States, she could converse not only in German, but also in English, French, and Italian. As the result of her medical studies, she received MD degrees from the Goethe Medical School Frankfurt am Main and the University of Berne, Switzerland. Throughout her college and medical school years, she found time to continue her enthusiasm for swimming and, in fact, became the intercollegiate breaststroke-swimming champion of Europe. By the time of the Berlin Olympics, she was not permitted to compete for the German team by the Nazi regime because of her Jewish heritage. She did, however, attend the Olympic Games in Berlin and recounted with great pleasure seeing Jesse Owens receive his three gold medals for track and field events withAdolph Hitler being among those present in the stadium.

This qualitative study examines the biographical constellations which have led to the decision to go on pilgrimage and therefore a typology of biographical motivations was developed. To achieve the aim of a typology, methods of qualitative research were used. The database consists of narrative interviews that were undertaken mostly with German pilgrims. The life stories of the pilgrims were analysed with Grounded Theory Methodology and made into a typology of five main types of pilgrims: balance pilgrim, crisis pilgrim, time-out pilgrim, transitional pilgrim, new start pilgrim.

    Golgotha on City Peripheries:doi: 10.7592/FEJF2014.56.baranieckaThe Passion Play in Bydgoszcz Fordon GOLGOTHA ON CITY PERIPHERIES: THE PASSION PLAY IN BYDGOSZCZ FORDON Kamila Baraniecka-Olszewska Abstract: Passion plays are gaining more and more popularity in Poland. Through participation, the faithful seek answers not only to their religious doubts, but also to the problems of the contemporary world. That is why some Easter play organizers decide to depart from the classic script of Passion plays, based on the Stations of the Cross, and to prepare for the audience performances which interpret political and social processes through the religious story. One such Passion play has been staged for over ten years in Bydgoszcz Fordon in Poland. This article examines how the concept of ritual efficacy can explain the particular impact of the Easter play on its participants. Keywords: Catholicism, contemporary religiosity, efficacy, Passion plays, performance, Poland This article has two principal purposes. First, I want to present one Polish Passion play that is, in my opinion, worth a separate study: namely the play staged in Bydgoszcz Fordon which is exceptional in comparison with the ma- jority of Passion plays all over the world. And second, through this example I would like to show how religious content is actualized by means of performance. Focusing on three iterations of the Fordon play, I describe three interpretation keys which allow us to grasp the process of actualization of Christ’s Passion. Simultaneously I show that the need of actualizing the Passion of Christ and giving it contemporary meanings related to present issues draws from the changing kind of the religious sensitivity of the faithful.

    Jews, Ethnicity and Identity in Early Modern Hamburg

    UC Berkeley TRANSIT Title Jews, Ethnicity and Identity in Early Modern Hamburg Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4qc3v86m Journal TRANSIT, 3(1) Author Bell, Dean P Publication Date 2007-06-22 DOI 10.5070/T731009717 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Introduction: The Nature of Early Modern German Jewish Communities At the beginning of the seventeenth century there were probably no more than 40,000 Jews living in Germany, accounting for less than one percent of the total population. 1 Despite their small number, these Jews settled widely across Germany, in hundreds of different places, including large urban communities, as well as bustling towns outside large cities and even small rural outposts. As such, the concept of Jewish community was a multivalent one in early modern Germany, with Jews forming communities that could be simultaneously local and regional. At the same time, Jews also constituted something of a broader community as Jews of the German Empire or, more simply, as early modern Jews who lived in many different parts of the world. Early modern Jewish identity, therefore, was at once local or regional and universal. 2 Early modern German Jews could define their communities in many different ways, based on geography, religious practices, history, communal governing structures, and even the broader politics (civic, territorial and imperial) in which the Jews themselves lived. Some early modern Jewish communities were well established with roots stretching back several hundred years; most communities, however, suffered significant ruptures and were either re-constituted after pogroms or expulsions or newly formed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

    1 the Spiritual Rock Dr. Baron Mullis Isaiah 55:1-9; I Corinthians 10:1-13

    The Spiritual Rock Dr. Baron Mullis Isaiah 55:1-9; I Corinthians 10:1-13 Morningside Presbyterian Church Some years back, I heard a rather spectacular account of a passion play production mounted by a local congregation. As the project progressed, it became for the congregation something of a holy vocation, which if you are going to do a passion play, is exactly as it should be. Mind you, I’m not itching for us to do one, but here you go. Congregation members donated their time and skills to build sets, auditions were held, and finally the coveted role of Jesus went to a college student who had the rare qualification of being the only one with a beard. No amount of money was spared. On Good Friday, the church gathered, along with their friends and neighbors and a good portion of the town, who had heard by then that something very special was going on, which, of course, was true. The first part of the Passion play was a resounding success. The actors delivered their lines with eloquence and feeling, bringing tears to the eyes of the audience as they described Jesus’s last days- his agonizing in the garden, his betrayal and trial. The problem occurred- and I’m sure by now you knew there was going to be one- at the crucifixion scene. As the crucified Jesus was dramatically hoisted to the sky, the cast did not realize that the rubber cement affixing the spearhead to the pole had hardened significantly beyond where it was during the dress-rehearsal, losing in the process, most of its elasticity, and therefore, flexibility.
