Description
The end of the New Years Eve service in the Parish Church St. Peter and Paul in Oberammergau. My nephew, who had been active in the church's orchestra playing a cello passed away unexpectedly on New Years Eve.2013. He was remembered during these services.
One reason I went to Oberammergau this year was to be with my cousin and her family to help them making it over the holidays.

A beautiful shot and such a nice change to see a service in progress.
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
A lovely image!
Thanks for posting this. I have heard much about Oberammergau and their Easter Passion play. However, I have never been there, only seen photos. I've seen the outside of the church, now, (thanks to you) I see the inside. Beautiful building. What is very nice is seeing the procession. Most photos of church interiors only show the building but never what it is used for. One thing I'm wondering - is there no choir in the church? Keep up the good work! :-)
I am so sorry about your nephew! A beautiful capture!
@T. Rex: I took the picture on the sly, not using any flash. After all this is a house of worship and I didn't want to get in trouble. Yes, the Parish Church has a choir and an orchestra, and my nephew played cello in it. The 'Easter Passion' play you mentioned are probably the Passion Plays, which are held every ten years. They are the result of a pledge the community made in 1634, that if they were spared from the plaque they would honor the Almighty with a reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ.
fabulous picture
Beautiful shot Sig, excellent lighting you've captured.. Very well caught mate Rob
An exciting moment for you and I salute you for being there for your cousin and her family!
I'm sorry to read about the death of your nephew, as to this, I see this picture as an intense symbol of the light of Christ, that shines and watching over all of us. So beautiful, you could make this picture, Sig. It's great you was this time with your cousin, Sig.
