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.

Globus invites you to experience this legendary event on one of the special vacations being offered in 2010. We have also created a special website dedicated to the Passion Play - please visit http://www.passionplaytours.com for more information
