In 1633, the villagers of the small Bavarian town of Oberammergau suffered devastating losses due

to the Bubonic Plague. Those survivors appealed to God for Divine Intervention for their families,

vowing they would perform the Passion Play every decade if they were spared. Still today the residents

host thousands of travelers as they depict the life and death of Jesus.
