Details
Our mission parish is viewing a chapter of this DVD each week after Mass in Lent. The content is fully packed and seeing the sites in the Holy land where each step of Christ's passion occurred makes it come alive. Each of us has learned things that we didn't know before, so it is clear that Edward Sri and his coworkers have really researched the subject. We are an older congregation and find the music volume overwhelms the voice sometimes, and so miss that there are no captions. Adding a closed caption feature to the next pressing would be wonderful, as sometimes Edward gets so enthusiastic that he speaks rather rapidly--again, we aren't spring chickens anymore.
