JERUSALEM, Jun 29, 2012 – Since Advent 2011, the Patriarchate website makes available to readers some radio recordings in English, presenting the daily life of the Church and of the inhabitants of the Holy Land. Now they are made in the last line.
This initiative, named the Holy Land Report (Report from the Holy Land), comes from the United States. More precisely, it is the Immaculate Heart Radio, which has made these recordings. This Catholic radio station was born in 1997. At that time, the history of the station states, it was only the seventh Catholic radio in the United States, compared to the 1600 Protestant stations and 15000 others.
In December 2011 the first recordings on the Holy Land on www.lpj.org was broadcast. Presented by Jacqueline Shoen, these brief services mainly look back on Bethlehem and the Christmas Feast. Also they report the relations between Christians and Muslims and some religious communities there.
The second series remains closer to the heart of everyday life of Christians. Broadcast in Lent 2012, the reports concern the Palestinian traditional dance and the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre.
At the end of Lent, the radio transmissions of the third cycle treat especially the great feast of Easter, relating with care those days so special for the world and in particular Jerusalem. One finds so many testimonies of diverse Christians in the Holy Land.
Thursday, June 28 was posted the fourth series. Prepared for the feast of Pentecost, this series also features a day with the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and a meeting with an artisan of Bethlehem where one can visit the campus of the University of Bethlehem.
Another twenty recordings await completion. They will be placed online around the feast of All Saints 2012.
