Rehearsal and dress rehearsal will be followed on Whit Monday by the first regular representation of "The History of the Sufferings and Death of Jesus". There are to be twenty-five representations in all...Nowhere...is there so unbroken a tradition as this of Ober-Ammergau. The story has often been told, how, two hundred and fifty years ago, in the time of the Thirty Years War, a plague broke out in the Bavarian Tyrol, and devastated the neighbourhood of Ober-Ammergau. The village authorities, in order to preserve themselves from the plague, forbade anyone to pass out of their secluded valley. This order did not prevent a truant villager from coming in. Crossing the mountains at night, the unhappy man brought the dire disease with him. Within three days he was dead, and forty fellow-villagers shared his fate. Then it was that the pious people of Ober-Ammergau registered a vow, and determined, in order to propitiate Heaven, that every ten years they would perform a play which should set forth the story of Christ's Passion. We are told that the plague was stayed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
