Travel With the Trimbles to

Oberammergau Passion Play

Bishop Julius Trimble and Racelder Grandberry-Trimble invite you to join them on an exciting  pilgrimage to Germany and Austria in August of 2010.  On this trip we will attend a performance of the historic once-every-ten-years Passion Play in Oberammergau and stay in a historic Alpine village.

Other highlights will include a day in Salzburg, Mozart’s birthplace; a visit to Innsbruck, where we will tour Maria Theresa’s ImperialPalace; breathtaking views of the Tyrolian Alps; a drive through the Brenner Pass, and visits to castles, churches and abbeys in the region.

In the 17^th Century, when the village of Oberammergau was spared from the Black Plague, the villagers promised God that they would show their gratitude by performing a Passion Play every ten years.  Now, 370 years later, we will have the opportunity to experience this world-famous production. 

In addition to the nine-day pilgrimage, travelers may choose an Italy pre-tour or extensions to Switzerland, Vienna and Prague, or an Alpine village extended stay.
