DramaHistory
The Passion Play of Oberammergau (1898) presents scenes from the famed Bavarian passion play, dramatizing the final days of Jesus Christ—from his entry into Jerusalem to the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Filmed by the Edison Company, it offered late-19th-century audiences a rare cinematic glimpse of the world-renowned Oberammergau tradition.
Directed by Henry C. Vincent
