Three places. One shared journey.

The Oberammergau Passion Play

In 1633, villagers made a vow to perform the Passion of Christ. The first performance followed in 1634, beginning a tradition carried by generations. Today, this Bavarian village remains a place where faith, artistry, and community come together.

The next Passion Play is scheduled for 2030. This journey is an invitation to plan ahead, not a confirmed departure. Performance dates, tickets, and attendance must be confirmed before booking; a visit outside a performance season does not include the play.

Bring your congregation. Share the experience.
