From Tourist to Pilgrim - Ep. 5: The Calling of Saint Matthew

From Tourist to Pilgrim

Matthew’s decision will change everything he has been up to until now and transform him into a new person. As he stands on the threshold of that decision, one hand points to himself, and the other hand still holds a coin, showing his attachment to the wealth and privilege he has earned. Caravaggio’s spectacular use of light reveals not only Matthew’s decision, but also points the path for pilgrims who seek an indication of the Way. "From Tourist to Pilgrim" is a podcast by Liz Lev, with original music by Mara Miceli and Umberto D'Auria, editing and sound design by Mara Miceli, and directed by Johana Bronkova.
