Bavaria Bavarian Divine Jerusalem Jesus Judgement Mount Oberammergau Olives Passion Receives Receiving Villagers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment from the Oberammergau Passion Play, a unique and enduring tradition in the picturesque village of Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany. Established in 1634, this passion play is performed every ten years by the villagers, who vowed to do so as a thank offering for being spared from the bubonic plague. In this image, taken in 1930, we see Jesus (centre) on the Mount of Olives, receiving the cup of divine judgement. The solemn expression on his face and the dramatic lighting convey the intensity and depth of the religious story being portrayed. The villagers, dressed in authentic costumes, bring the biblical narrative to life, transporting us back in time and immersing us in the rich history and culture of this remarkable place. The Oberammergau Passion Play is a testament to the power of faith, community, and the enduring human spirit.
