Oberammergau Passion Play + Avalon Waterways River Cruise Vacations - 2010
The quaint village of Oberammergau is world famous for its spectacular Passion Play, performed by the locals just once a decade. Avalon Waterways invites you to experience this legendary event on one of the special land extensions being offered in 2010 combined with select 2010 Avalon river cruise departure dates.
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. Do not miss your opportunity to be a part of this legendary event!
