I visited Oberammergau during the summer of 2010 for the Passion play and it was fabulous - 5 hours of theater where the whole town is involved. There was a dinner break at the 3rd hour. I am looking forward to returning in 2020 - every performance is different. I also visited this small church - during mass. The pews were packed even though it was an ordinary Sunday in summer. The mass and music, in German, were wonderful with the fabulous acoustics. <br />Thanks again for the lovely pictures! I can't wait to go back. . . <br /><br />mary from RI mb-RIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457932514910598330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-80129767974685546082013-12-21T11:12:35.130-05:002013-12-21T11:12:35.130-05:00Reading your post reminds me how much I miss the s...Reading your post reminds me how much I miss the sound of ringing church bells here in Michigan. It's only when somebody else points it out when I realize it's been a somewhat forgotten part of my growing up, sometimes maybe even a bit annoying. <br />Have you ever been in Germany/ Europe for New Years? At least in my home town we'll hear all the church bells of the area ringing in the New Year - followed by fireworks everywhere in the streets.<br />Merry Christmas to you and your family!Barb in Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039598860816147490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-76327935959599373652013-12-21T11:11:16.881-05:002013-12-21T11:11:16.881-05:00Three of those daily bells you would hear were the...Three of those daily bells you would hear were the Angelus.... rung at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. calling folks to prayer.Susie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893377527974815997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-69503393687058732982013-12-21T11:00:13.439-05:002013-12-21T11:00:13.439-05:00Bonnie - Thanks so much for the pictures of this c...Bonnie - Thanks so much for the pictures of this church.

(sorry, no further information about him)<br />The Dominican brother Amadeus Eyrl (living in Rome and born in Oberammergau) wanted to render a service to his home church. He waited a long time for the possibility to send this holy body to Oberammergau. The trader Jakob Noder who was on his way from Neapel back to Ammergau offers the delivery of the body for free. He left Rome on 3.11.1760 but died during the journey. Some time later Melchior Faistenmantel from Ammergau organised the transport of the body to Augsburg. During the church consecration festival 1762 the shrine came to the cross altar celebrated by the provost Rottenbuch.<br />Kerry from GermanyKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797214278373236259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44619553987242908532013-12-21T10:27:02.022-05:002013-12-21T10:27:02.022-05:00Reliquary
At the Altar of the Cross of our church ...Reliquary<br />At the Altar of the Cross of our church there is a reliquary with the body of the holy martyr Amandus. The chronic reports about the provenance:<br />The dominican monk Amadeus Eyrl, who was born in Oberammergau, wanted to serve the church of his hometown. He lived in Rome and there gained ownership of the holy body. He waited for a long time to send the holy body to Ammergau. Finally Jakob Noder, a trader from Ammergau, on his return trip from Neaples came to him and offerd to do this free of charge. On November 3rd, 1760 he left Rome, with the holy burden on his back. But the kind Jakob died on his trip home. Only some time later Melchior Paistenmantel, also from Ammergau, took care of the transfer back home. In the Starmonestary in Augsburg the reliquary was trimmed (bordered?? decorated?) and during the church consecration festival the then provost of Rottenbuch ceremonialy placed the reliquary shrine at the Altar of the Cross.Quilterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612573439954349439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-27841535560206114342013-12-21T10:24:52.798-05:002013-12-21T10:24:52.798-05:00Hi Bonnie -- thank you so much for more pictures. ...Hi Bonnie -- thank you so much for more pictures.
