Oberammergau Passionsspiele: Exploring a Sacred Theatre (Part 9)

LESSONS & REFLECTIONS
Several hundred years ago, the Passionsspiele was performed by Catholic farmers isolated in the mountainside. Passion plays were the few opportunities for local people to engage with their spiritual and religious stories in their own voices, their own their own languages, and their own words, rather than the Latin of the pulpit. For those of the Christian faiths, this interaction remains true today.
