Josp Fest is event to experience in the first person. The festival, which will bring together the general public and industry operators, is not only a way to encourage pilgrimages to shrines in Europe and the Middle East, but it’s also a vehicle to experience faith through different and new mediums. The festival, a fusion of history and technology, is an opportunity to meet and create a dialogue with diverse churches, faith-based communities and religions, as well different nations and civilizations.
“Sing and walk” is the theme of the first edition of Josp Fest because it accurately describes the pilgrimage experience.
Walking is a sphere of life, and together with song, it can help to overcome the obstacles faced during a journey, especially when shared with others.
Josp Fest is also an experience of religious journeys that occur outside the confines of the New Rome Fair Grounds. The Josp Tours allow pilgrims to discover the most significant and striking sites related to Rome’s Christian history.
During the four-days of the festival, Josp Fest will offers tours, guided or unguided, related to the itineraries of Christian Rome. There will also be offerings of particular and unique religious interest that are not usually included in traditional tour packages.
It will be possible to reserve these tours on-line connecting to the JOSP web site.
The istitutional sponsors are: Regione Lazio, Comune di Roma, Provincia di Roma, Camera di Commercio Roma, Cammini d'Europa.
