YMT Vacations looks to be offering a tour that would suit my father well. One of their featured vacation destinations is the Oberammergau Tour. Now, his family comes from the Munich area, the first destination on the tour. Our ancestors used to farm near Munich and several also brewed beer, and both my father and I share a love for brewed beverages.
As a pastor for a small congregation in Hollywood Township, Minnesota, I am certain that he would like the main draw for this tour. This YMT Vacations tour includes a passion play that takes place every ten years in Oberammerau, Germany. In 1634, the citizens of Oberammerau vowed to put on a passion play every ten years if God would spare them from the bubonic plague that affected the surrounding area. Since that time, every ten years Oberammerau residents put on this passion play.
If YMT Vacations keeps offering such a wide variety of interesting tours, I may have something to look forward to in my old age.
