The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical event: “The Face of Jesus” on Tuesday, June 3 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Can we see the face of the invisible God? Do we know what our Savior looked like?
“The Face of Jesus” explores two acheiropoietic images — sacred cloths not made by human hands — the Shroud of Turin and the Veil of Manoppello, as well as the most extraordinary depiction of Jesus painted by human hands: the Vilnius image of the Merciful Jesus.
Filmmakers take the audience on a cinematic journey to the tomb in Jerusalem from 2,000 years ago, to Rome, Manoppello, and San Giovanni Rotondo, to discover what our Savior looked like.
After the main feature, learn about the devotion to the Holy Face with a bonus featuring U.S. clergy who detail the power of the ancient devotion and why it’s gaining traction among the faithful in modern times.
“The Face of Jesus” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Tuesday, June 3 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.
