英语词汇passion play的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

passion play. The world’s longest-running play, an entirely amateur production, has been playing for more than three cen- turies, longer than any modern-day professional play. The record holder is the Oberammergau Passion Play, portraying Christ’s last days, his suffering and death in Jerusalem. In 1633, the villagers of Oberammergau, in Germany’s Bavarian Alps, vowed that if God would spare them from the terrible plague raging through Europe, they would enact Christ’s last days on Earth every 10 years “until the end of time.” Since then the Oberammergau Passion Play, performed 38 times out of its 354-year history, has become synonymous with passion play it- self. More than half a million people visit Oberammergau every year the passion play is presented, watching from hard seats in a 5,200-seat theater whose stage is out in the open against an Alpine backdrop. Twice as many usually have to be turned away.
