Episode 9 – On the way back…
In the ninth and final episode of the podcast In the footsteps of Scripture: a travel diary in Jordan between the Old and the New Testament, the pilgrims are on their way home. They share photographs and, above all, the experiences of faith that marked their lives: from the desert of Wadi Rum to Petra, from Mount Nebo to the Jabbok, from Amman to Bethany beyond the Jordan, and finally to Gadara and Gerasa. “The common thread," Father Francesco Giosuè Voltaggio explains, "is the Catechumenate, or Christian initiation. The Fathers of the Church, especially in the fourth and fifth centuries, the golden age of the catechumenate, shaped according to the stages of the people of Israel in the desert”. “The whole of Christian life is a paschal itinerary.” It was essential for the pilgrims to immerse themselves in person in a tangible history and geography, where so many events of Scripture took place. Thanks to the renewal brought about by the Second Vatican Council, this pilgrimage, recounted in these podcast episodes, was therefore intended to begin with the Word of God, which speaks to the heart of the Christian community. This episode features the experiences of Donata Longo Censori and Loretta Raffaeli Ravaglia. In the words of all the pilgrims, one senses joy and gratitude that the kerygma, which resounded very early on in the cities of the Decapolis, had reached us.

Episode 8 – The Decapolis and the Evangelisation
In the eighth episode of the podcast In the footsteps of Scripture: a travel diary in Jordan between the Old and the New Testament, the group of pilgrims goes to Gadara and Gerasa, in northern Jordan. These cities belonged to the Decapolis, loyal to the Roman Empire and shaped by Hellenistic culture and were among the first places to receive the proclamation of the Gospel. “From the very beginning," Father Francesco Giosuè Voltaggio explains, "Jesus Christ and the Apostles did not only preach to the poor and the simple people; they also had to engage with the highest culture of their time.” This episode includes the testimony of pilgrim Pietro Marciani.

Episode 7 – The Church of the Baptism of Jesus and Machaerus
In the seventh episode of the podcast In the footsteps of Scripture: a travel diary in Jordan between the Old and the New Testament, the group of pilgrims, from the banks of the Jordan, walk to the nearby Church of the Baptism of Jesus, consecrated in January 2025. Here they meet Father Sergio Perez, who is responsible for the community of the Institute of the Incarnate Word, entrusted with the care of this site. He tells the story of the church’s construction. The episode also features reflections from Archbishop Giovanni Pietro Dal Toso on the significance of the site. After visiting Madaba, where is found the oldest map of the Holy Land, designed as a mosaic floor, the pilgrims travel south to Machaerus, the ancient fortress where Herod Antipas ordered the beheading of Saint John the Baptist. “Today," Father Francesco Giosuè Voltaggio explains, "we can still see the same fortress where Herod held banquets and celebrations, and where this tragic yet deeply meaningful event took place: the martyrdom of John the Baptist, a fiery prophet who swam against the tide and had the courage to speak the truth to Herod.”
