The Via Dolorosa
So now, I guess, you can visit Matera, Italy, where The Passion of the Christ was filmed. In fact, this small, isolated Italian town makes no bones about it--that's probably the biggest reason these days why people would think of going so far out of the way from the typical Italian sightseeing tour to see this historic village.
Sure, it looks like Jerusalem, which is why it makes sense they'd shoot the film there. I think there are going to be plenty of people who are going to cash in on this crossbreed of the holy pilgrimage and the Hollywood star map. But what a great way to tie my faith together with my love for film! I mean, now I can take the tour in Italy and "walk along the same paths as the actors of the movies did." For the bargain price of only 583 Euros I can even sleep in a Bed and Breakfast "where Cast and Crew were lodged".
And to think I had nearly signed up for that 10-day Israel tour they keep postponing with Dr. Benny Hinn! I mean, granted, on that tour I would at least be able to walk the same path Jesus walked. But who's Benny Hinn compared to Mel Gibson? I mean, come on! Can Benny Hinn tell you What Women Want?
