Noble of Smithfield recount his visit to Oberammergau, an unrivaled scenic spot in the valley of Bavaria, Ger many, where he attended the perfor mance of The Passion Play. Marshall Plan Funds ($238,000) erased war da mages and made possible the revival of Oberammergau’s Passion Ray, which has its beginnings in the his tory of the Thirty Years’ War (1634) and the famine and “Black Death.” When 84 of the village’s 300 residents died, the village council assembled in the church and made a solemn vow that if the village was spared they would perform, every tenth year, a play .depicting the sufferings of Christ. According to legend, deaths immediately ceased and the next year the Passion of the Savior was enacted for the first time. Only in the. Napo leonic troubles and the crisis of World War I and II has the ten-year sche dule been disrupted. Mr. Noble said all participants of the Passion Ray must be natives of Oberammergau or must have resided there at least 20 years; the actors are selected for life action likeness of each character role and no married person can play the part of Mary or Magdalene. The play spans the period from Christ’s entry into Jerusalem to the triumphant Re surrection with counterparts from the Old Testament being presented in ta bleau. Mrs. C. H.
