2. Human Face of God. Blagovest Media, 2010

We recognize the Face of Christ on any icon, on any painting. How do we know how He looked? Where does this certainty come from?

In 1999 Fr. Heinrich Pfeiffer, Professor of the Gregorian University in Rome, announced that in the monastery of Manopello village in the Italian region of Abruzzo, he had found one of the Holiest Relics of Christianity — Veil of Veronica. The Holy Face on the Veil is similar to the one on the Shroud of Turin and on the first Orthodox icon ever — the Savior Not Made by Hands. Do we know now how He really looked like?

See the documentary and follow our search of the True Face of God.

The project is continued with the story of the Tunic of Christ

Documentary «POPE BENEDICT XVI» Blagovest-Media, 2007

It is the first media-project in Russian history, dedicated to the head of the Roman Church, and the first experience in a thousand-year history of the Churches’ split, when the Pope got an opportunity to address the Orthodox Russia directly.

The Pope Benedict XVI’s address to Russia

…Russia is truly great, in a variety of different ways — in her sheer geographical scale, in her long history, in her magnificent spirituality, in her multiplicity of artistic expression. During the past century the horizon of your noble land… was obscured by … suffering and violence, shadows that were … overcome by the splendid light of so many martyrs — Orthodox, Catholics and other believers, who perished under the oppression of ferocious persecutions. The love of Christ even unto martyrdom, … reminds us of the urgent need to restore unity among Christians, a duty to which the Catholic Church feels herself to be irrevocably committed. Both the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church are moving in this direction.
