This print captures Martha Veit in the role of the Virgin Mary during the 1922 Oberammergau Passion Play. The play, which dates back to 1634, is a remarkable tradition performed every decade by the villagers of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany. It tells the profound story of Jesus' passion and crucifixion. Veit's portrayal of Mary exudes both grace and grief, as she embodies the sorrowful mother witnessing her son's suffering. Dressed in an exquisite costume that reflects the era and religious significance, Veit brings depth and authenticity to her character. The Oberammergau Passion Play has evolved into a renowned tourist attraction over time, drawing audiences from all corners of the globe who come to witness this extraordinary theatrical event. This official postcard from 1922 serves as a testament to its enduring popularity. Henry Traut skillfully captured this moment through his lens at Atelier Henry Traut.

As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when amateur dramatics merged with deep religious devotion. It reminds us of the power that theater holds in conveying timeless stories and evoking genuine emotions within its audience.
