Holy Week in Rome - See how Holy Week is commemorated in Rome. Hear from theologians, professors, art historians, and Vatican officials about Jesus’ last days on earth and how those moments have been relived throughout the centuries in Church ceremony and art. From the washing of the feet to the walk to Calvary, Pope Benedict XVI takes us step-by-step through these symbolic events as played out in the Eternal City.

This Side of Eden - From the grand to the mundane, life at Westminster Abbey in Mission, British Columbia, Canada, is anything but ordinary. This Side of Eden presents a poetic, compelling and richly intimate portrait of the Benedictine Monks in the days of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum. Young and old, able and infirm, the subtle splendor of their lives is interwoven with the quiet majesty of the natural world that surrounds them. Stunningly photographed and thoughtfully told, this film offers a meditative glimpse into a unique way of life which is grounded on earth but lived looking beyond.
