Recently, this gesture of Pope Francis aroused emotions all over the world.<\/p>\n
During the feast day of St. Peter, Pope Francis gave an invaluable relic to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as a sign of fraternity. It was a reliquary containing nine fragments of St. Peter's bones that until now has been kept in the pope's private chapel.<\/p>\n
This symbolic gesture showed the importance of relics. The Eternal City preserves treasures of Christianity, and a new documentary from Rome Reports helps to uncover them. It's called, \u201cThe Footprints of Jesus in Rome.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cNot only is it a journey along the memory of Rome, it's also along the memory of Christianity.\u201d
\n \u201cA professional journalist approach is needed to first present, interpret and put the facts in context.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
\nDirector of \u201cThe Footprints of Jesus in Rome\u201d
\n\u201cThis documentary reveals many of Rome's details that people don't know about, such as relics that have arrived throughout time.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\u201cSeeing this documentary was very moving. At the same time, it outlined the importance of relics, devotion, and prayer. <\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn my opinion, all these stories are very important, and I think we must do everything possible so that all our people in Latin American countries can understand it, both Christian, Catholic, or others.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
