BECKER - The Oberammergau Passion Play Following through on a promise made at the time the Black plague was raging in Germany, in 1633 the Oberammergau villagers promised to perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every tenth year if they were spared. The prayer of the town was answered by God and in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. Keeping with this centuries’ long tradition, the village will present the play from May until October of 2020. Msgr. Becker will be leading a pilgrimage to this historic and moving play on June 10 – 21st, 2020. Included in this trip will be visits to the shrines of Eastern Europe and Southern Germany, including Munich, Prague, Krakow and Czestochowa. For further information call Msgr.
