In 1995, Citadel Video
Communications produced a very successful series of five, thirty
minute programmes about The Holy Land.
The documentary programmes
were shown on TVM - Malta`s state television network during Holy
Week of 1995 and were repeated in 1999.
"Minn Nazaret sa Gerusalemm,
fuq il-passi ta` Kristu… elfejn sena wara" literally translate
to "From Nazareth to Jerusalem, in the footsteps of Christ… two
thousand years later".
The programmes were produced
and directed by Alvin Scicluna while the commentary was by Charles
Arrigo, a Maltese leading television and radio personality. The
documentaries featured Mgr. Lawrence Sciberras, a professor in Biblical
Studies who resided in Israel for several years. Mgr. Sciberras
reads excerpts from the holy books and explains on location, the
connections between the scripture and Holy Land.
The programmes present
the many sites associated with Jesus Christ as they appear today.
Throughout the years, these places have been depicted in various
ways by films and books. Modern travel has today brought these Holy
sites within easy reach.
The series is presently
being recut into a commentary in English.
