The 14th edition of Vicenza’s annual Biblical Festival took place from 3-27 May in Vicenza, Verona, Padua, Rovigo and Vittorio Veneto. The very up-to-date theme of the event was The Future, presented principally in its fundamental connection to our existence.
Organized and promoted by the Diocese of Vicenza and the Society of St. Paul, this Festival, which has now been extended to neighboring dioceses, brings the Word of God to the streets of numerous cities, presenting the Gospel message and its spiritual significance to the people of today by means of the contemporary languages of communication. This year’s rich calendar of events included conferences, meetings, meditations, readings and guided tours, as well as concerts, exhibits and a wide variety of artistic performances–all of which enlivened the town squares, various public buildings, gardens, streets and churches of the cities participating in the event, encouraging the public to reflect on what the Bible has to say to them today about their future tomorrow.
