Passion Play at Ober-Ammergau A Grand Religious Tour
An Iowa Falls writer recounts the Passion Play at Ober-Ammergau describing the 4200 seat theater, 700 performers including many children, and the unique staging with Jerusalem street scenes. He notes the religious impact, imperial era music, and the village’s century‑long tradition, including a plague vow that sustains the bi‑decennial performance. The account adds travel details of Nuremberg and plans to tour Norway, Sweden, and Denmark before returning home August 24.
