On August 3, 2010, Bishop
Michael Coyner will lead a trip to the most famous and oldest passion
play in Europe-Oberammergau Passion Play in Germany. Since
1634, when this tiny town was spared from the Black Plague that was
ravaging all of Europe, villagers have kept their vow to God to
perform a once-a-decade Passion Play in thanksgiving. Everyone in the
village is involved - the cast alone includes over 1,000 people. In
2010, it will be performed again - there will be only 100 performances,
and once they sell out, no more tickets will be available.
The trip includes Innsbruck,
Salzburg, Italy and the Brenner Pass, as well as the Abbey of Ettal, the
Church in the Meadow at Wies, and the Castle of Linderhof. In addition,
Pre-tours of Italy and Post-tours of Switzerland and Vienna-Prague are
available. Hosts can earn their trips by taking seven paying
passengers. If you would like information on becoming an
Educational Opportunities Host, or simply would like to learn more about
the trip, please contact Debbie Bushfield at
