Featured Term (selected at random):
A religious drama during the Middle Ages, portraying some mystery of the Christian religion. These plays developed from the dramatic parts of the liturgy and joined to ideas drawn from the Bible and other sources. Biblical dramas featured the Passion of Christ, the Last Supper, the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, and the End of the World. Saints were featured in these plays, notably martyrs such as St. Catherine and St. George. After the Reformation, mystery dramas practically disappeared, but they have since been restored in many places, notably in the Passion Play at Oberammergau, Bavaria.

Has anyone on FR been to Oberammergau to see the Passion Play?

No, unfortunately! I can imagine it must be amazing.
“but they have since been restored in many places, notably in the Passion Play at Oberammergau, Bavaria.”
It hasn’t been restored there, it has been taking place since the plague as a pact made with God to spare the town.
Unfortunately I’ve never been to see it, which is rather embarassing particularly since it is the town in which I was born.
Great job!
We are skipping Sunday.
Thank you, grey_whiskers, I was so busy as a Catholic ladies tea. Just got home — and had been there since 8:00 am.
