2010 Oberammergau Passion Play

The world famous PASSION PLAY is performed every ten years in the Bavarian village of Oberammergau, Germany. In 2010, the citizens of this picturesque town will take to the stage for the 41st time to portray the "passion" or suffering of Christ. As it has been from the very first play in 1638, all the actors are local townspeople. One year prior to the performances, the actors start rehearsals and begin growing their hair to ensure that the characters look as realistic as possible. More than 1500 adults and 500 children are typically involved. Performances are scheduled from mid-May through September in 2010. Image Tours will offer the following tours with admission to the Passion Play included:

15-day Heart of Europe tour
15-day Heart of Europe Circle tour
13-day Treasures of Italy tour
14-day Germany, Austria, Switzerland tour
9-day Scenic Alpine tour
22-day Heart of Europe Grand tour

One of my greatest joys of travel is meeting the locals and talking with them about life, customs, and culture. I encourage every traveler – especially internationally – to strike up conversations with locals during their international travels. Pictured here is ‘Herbert der Bauer’- or ‘Herbert the farmer.’

I met Herbert and several of his pals during a stay in an Austrian mountain village not far from the German border. Although an advantage for me is the ability to speak German, so much can be shared and enjoyed even with a language barrier. I learned that Herbert had a nice farm nearby with about 20 dairy cows and I would be well cared for if I had wished to become his farm bride! As smitten as I was with the surroundings, I couldn’t accept Herbert’s kind offer!
