His Excellency Msgr. Jacques Behnan Hindo, Syriac Catholic Archbishop of Hassaké-Nisibi, Syria, speaks to us about the "role-playing game" which is going on in Syria today and the striking example of faith of our Christian brethren there.

What do you know about our brothers and sisters in Armenia? Most Reverend Raphael F. Minassian, Armenian Catholic bishop of Yerevan (Armenia), gives us an inside look into the deep Christian history of Armenia, the persecution of the Armenians - especially during the “Medz Yeghern” (Armenian Genocide) - and his people's identity as a "People of the Cross." Live the richness of the faith in "In the Footsteps of the Nazarene."

Sr. Maria de Guadalupe left Syria and now goes back as an ambassadress of Faith. This missionary, who has spoken so much about the persecuted Christians' situation, shares her experience of the mission and communion in Faith. Sr. Maria de Guadalupe Rodrigo, missionary in the Middle East for 20 years, has lived the conflict in Syria together with the bishop and the Christian community of Aleppo. She shares the intense experience of going back to "liberated" Aleppo, her encounter with the Christian community there, and reality of Syria in all it aspects. Let your heart be touched by the people of the Cross in "In the Footsteps of the Nazarene."

This program features Fr. Santosh Kumar Digal and Fr. Mrutyunjaya Digal, Catholic priests who exercise their ministry in the punishable and martyrial area of Orissa, India.

In a return visit to the west, Fr. Benoka has granted us another interview in "In the Footsteps of the Nazarene." Fr. Benoka is an Iraqi priest residing in Kurdistan, where he founded several dispensaries and medical centers for Iraqi refugees who have left their homes because of persecution. In this program, he informs us on the current situation of the Christians in Iraqi Kurdistan: their concerns, the current health situation, the miracles that they witness every day thanks to Providence that allows them to continue onwards and on which they "hang." Moreover, Fr. Behnam Benoka takes us deeper into the reality of the conflict that, sooner or later, will leave its mark on Europe. He encourages us to defend the Christian roots of a continent which, little by little, is being Islamized at an accelerated pace. Follow Him who is the Truth and His witnesses, in "In the footsteps of the Nazarene."

Fr. Jens Petzold, a priest from the "Deir Mar Musa al-Habashi" community, currently performs his ministry in Suleymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan. He helps the Iraqi people who have been displaced due to persecution and the present conflict.
