This documentary was originally produced by the EWTN Vaticano team and recorded in EWTN’s Vatican studios. With the gracious permission of EWTN Vaticano, EWTN Theotokos is pleased to share it with our Turkish audience. In doing so, we hope the Church’s rich liturgical treasures will resonate not only in Rome, but throughout Turkey and wherever our viewers may be.

In the video, Fr. Giovanni Zaccaria—professor of liturgical theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome—guides us step‑by‑step through the profound symbols and theological meaning of the Paschal Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. From the Mandatum (washing of the feet) and the consecration of the Chrism, to the silent veneration of the Cross and the radiant joy of the Resurrection, each element is carefully explained. This journey helps us grasp more deeply what the Lord’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection mean for the Church, the liturgy, and our personal life of faith.

Our aim at EWTN Theotokos is to support you in celebrating these sacred days with greater awareness, depth, and joy—whether in your parish or at home. As you watch, we invite you to open your heart to the powerful message of these mysteries, which remind us of God’s boundless love and saving mercy. Feel free to share the video with family and friends so that we may walk this holy path together. May the Lord’s blessing be upon you!
