Holy Week unfolds in a powerful way in the Holy Land—where the Gospel is not only remembered, but lived in the very places where Christ suffered, died, and rose again.

In this episode of Vaticano, we take you to Jerusalem and beyond, tracing the path of the Passion from the Upper Room to Gethsemane, the Via Dolorosa, and the empty tomb. Amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the meaning of Christ’s suffering and the hope of the Resurrection take on new urgency.

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, shares a firsthand perspective on the challenges facing Christians in the region and explains why hope, rooted in the Risen Christ, remains alive even in the midst of war.

This episode also explores the deeper meaning of Holy Week, the lived reality of faith in the Holy Land, and the enduring witness of those who continue to serve others despite violence and uncertainty.
