The Passion Play in Oberammergau will be performed for the 41st year, starting from May 15 until October 3.
Every 10 years (since 1634) this spectacular religious event takes place in the small Bavarian village of Oberammergau in Germany. Over 2,000 villagers will perform in the 2010 Play, telling the story of the life and death of Christ. All participants must either be born in Oberammergau or have lived there for at least 20 years and the play itself lasts five hours and more than 500,000 visitors from all over the world – over 100,000 from the US alone are expected.
