Custos of the Holy Land: Jerusalem is house of prayer for all the nationsIn an interview with Vatican News, the Custos of the Holy Land, Fr. Francesco Patton, Custos of the Holy LandBy Deborah Castellano LubovDespite tensions, Holy Week celebrations continue beautifully in the Holy Land, says the Custos of the Holy Land, noting that when there are more pilgrims, there is more stability. He also talks about the importance of the Good Friday collection for the Holy Land, as being key to its survival and mission. As Custos of the Holy Land, being in such close contact with the reality on the ground, how would you describe the tensions? For me, what will be very moving will be the celebrations during Holy Week, and at the end of the Holy Week.
