Germany
2000 — Jessica had the opportunity to go
to Germany during the summer and left for Berlin in May. She was very
excited as many of our family immigrated from Germany and also was going to get
to see the Passion Play in Oberamagau that is performed every ten years.
This Passion Play was first performed in 1634 by the town who swore an oath to
perform the "Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ" after
the Black Plague haunted their town. This play is performed with the
Bavarian Alps as the background and was last performed in 2000 for the 40th
time and is scheduled for 2010.
