A brief history

In 1634 when the Black Death was ravaging all of Europe, the picturesque village of Oberammergau remained unaffected, until a homesick villager returned and unknowingly brought the infection with him. As nearly 100 of their neighbours died, the remaining villages vowed to God that they would re-enact the Crucifixion of Christ every 10 years, and from that moment on there were no more casualties.
