A Catholic radio station has brought a Lenten exhibit into a busy shopping mall in Quezon City, aiming to make Holy Week reflection more accessible to the public.
Organized by Radio Veritas, the exhibit opened Monday at Fisher Mall, drawing visitors seeking moments of prayer amid daily routines.
Titled “Transitus: Journeying with Christ from the Cross to Eternal Life,” the installation invites reflection on Jesus Christ’s passion, death and resurrection.
Fr. Roy Bellen, the station’s president, led the opening rites and said the initiative seeks deeper spiritual engagement during Lent.
“Through this exhibit, we hope to offer a space for reflection, prayer, and spiritual encounter,” Bellen said.
He said bringing the exhibit into a public venue responds to rising costs and practical barriers limiting participation in traditional Lenten activities.
The priest added that situating the exhibit in everyday spaces allows people to pause briefly and reconnect with the sacred.
“As we walk with Christ in His passion, death, and resurrection, may we also rediscover the meaning of our own journey of faith—marked by sacrifice, renewal, and hope,” he added.
The exhibit is open during mall hours until April 5, coinciding with Holy Week, including observances on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Organizers said the initiative also aligns with the 800th anniversary of the Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi.
Bellen said the commemoration underscores themes of transition, hope and eternal life central to both Franciscan spirituality and the Lenten season.
He reaffirmed the station’s mission to bring the Gospel closer to everyday life through accessible, prayer-centered initiatives beyond traditional church settings.
