The woodcarver-village in Upper Bavaria, Oberammergau, stands in the sign of the passion play: After the traditional "borad decree", in which all people who are allowed to star in the passion, inhabitants of the villas over the age of seventeen years, are called up to let their hair and their beards grow, now at June 23rd 1979 the main-actors for the play of the passion of Jesus Christ become elected. Ops: Ludwig Stadler (left) and Anton Kratz (right) with the crown of thorns of the actor which had to play the role of Jesus Christ.
