A meeting to tell and rediscover the value of the custody of the Holy Places in the Middle East. One hundred years after the construction of the basilicas of Mount Tabor and Gethsemane, we want to reflect on the conservation of cultural heritage and the custody of the basilicas as a sign of Christian hope, in addition to the involvement of local craftsmen and communities encouraged by Pro Terra Sancta. In such a dramatic moment for the Holy Land, looking at the message of the Holy Places and the conservation work of the architect Antonio Barluzzi means rediscovering the mission of the Custody as a path of dialogue and peace.
