No se me ocurre nada más alucinante que esperar a un eclipse solar REAL para rodar una escena. Esto es lo que hizo Richard Fleischer para retratar la crucifixión de Jesucristo en "Barrabás"(1961). A pesar del riesgo de tener una única oportunidad de dos minutos y cuarenta y cinco segundos, se acordó retrasar el rodaje de la escena hasta el 15 de febrero de 1961, momento en el que ocurriría el fenómeno astronómico. El resultado es simplemente increíble y único en la cinematografía mundial.
Honoured to welcome the Secretary of State of the Vatican, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to Malta, alongside @president_mt Myriam Spiteri Debono and @Archdiocese_MT@BishopScicluna, to celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations with the Holy See.
We reflected on our enduring ties, including cooperation at several multilateral fora, as we reaffirmed our shared commitment to dialogue, conflict prevention and peace.
What is it like to be a Habsburg? @EduardHabsburg has served as Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See for 10 years, navigating periods of both agreement and tension. Yet what has made him one of the Vatican’s most recognisable diplomats is also his name - Habsburg. Now, as he concludes his mission in Rome, he sat down with me for this exclusive interview:
The rumors are true - after 10 years I am taking my leave as Ambassador of 🇭🇺 Hungary to the 🇻🇦 Holy See.
My mission ends Nov 30.
I am returning to Central Europe - new adventures coming soon...
St Martin of Tours was born in the Pannonia province of the Roman Empire in present-day Hungary, at the foot of the hill where Pannonhalma Benedictine Archabbey was built.
St Martin of Tours, pray for us 🙏🏻

On the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Malta and the Holy See, I was honoured to attend a commemorative event at St John’s Co-Cathedral. A heartfelt thank you to the Apostolic Nuncio for the kind invitation. The performance by @KorMaltaC was a fitting tribute to our enduring friendship and shared values.
On the antifragile Charlie Kirk influence: Tonight my 23 yo son came home from a long day of being an electrician apprentice then trade school. Out the door at 5:30 am back home at 8 pm . Showered. Ate dinner. Did push ups. Sat next to me and prayed aloud for Charlie’s family for 10 minutes without prompting. Listened to two worship songs including “Rise up O men of God.” Watched a short talk by Charlie while eating. Hugged me and said “I need to be like Charlie. God help me.” Went to bed. Something is happening with young men. Burn like fire. Pour like rain.

In Qaraqosh Iraq, on the Nineveh Plain. 11 years ago today, the Jihadi savages of ISIS drove all the Christians out “convert, leave or die” - now about 40% have returned - but are now facing the oppression of the Iran-backed Shia Militias -state tuned & follow @NasareanO
@donMarcoVitale@Pontifex_it Il volume dei giovani sì. Ma l'esecuzione musicale ha fatto un déja vu alla GMG2000. Mi domando se la Chiesa non si sia sviluppata negli ultimi 25 anni?
Ho avuto l'impressione che gli organizzatori dovevano coinvolgere di più i giovani, per esempio nella parte musicale.
