Rome Prepares: From Tourist Destination to Spiritual Journey
As Rome anticipates millions of visitors for the upcoming Jubilee Year, Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, under its first female director Sister Rebecca Nazzaro, is reimagining the pilgrim experience. The organization aims to transform casual tourists into genuine pilgrims through innovative art and faith tours.
Sister Nazzaro emphasizes their unique approach: guides who are religious sisters lead Vatican Museum tours, initially surprising visitors but ultimately creating meaningful spiritual dialogues. These tours, while rooted in historical context, often extend beyond their scheduled duration as visitors engage in deeper discussions about faith and personal growth.
The Jubilee's historical significance traces back centuries, with documented accounts of pilgrims traveling to Rome for divine forgiveness at St. Peter's tomb. Under Sister Nazzaro's leadership, Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi's mission extends beyond traditional tourism, seeking to make the Gospel's message accessible to all visitors, regardless of their religious background, while respecting their individual journeys of faith.
