Christian heritage journey combines the Passion Play with visits to Milan, Florence, Pisa and Rome.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Journeys Unlimited is pleased to announce its 2027 departures of The Italian Renaissance Tour & The Passion Play of Sordevolo, a Christian heritage journey through Northern and Central Italy featuring one of the world’s most remarkable expressions of faith and community.

Presented only once every five years, the Passion Play of Sordevolo is one of Europe’s most significant religious events. Performed by the residents of the small village of Sordevolo in Italy’s Piedmont region, the production brings the final days of Christ’s life to the stage in a moving open-air performance involving hundreds of local volunteers. Preserved and passed down through generations for more than two centuries, the tradition continues to draw visitors from around the world seeking a deeper connection to the Bible.

“For pastors, church leaders, and Christians seeking a deeper connection to their faith, the Passion Play of Sordevolo offers a powerful opportunity to experience the Bible in a unique and unforgettable way,” said Nick Mancino, President of Journeys Unlimited. “Because the event takes place only once every five years, it presents a rare opportunity to witness a living tradition that has inspired generations of believers.”

The 2027 itinerary combines reserved admission to the Passion Play with visits to Milan, Sordevolo, Pisa, Florence, and Rome. Along the way, travelers will experience the rich Christian heritage of Italy while exploring destinations that have shaped the history of faith, art, culture, and Western civilization.

Highlights include Florence, cradle of the Renaissance; Pisa and its historic Piazza dei Miracoli; Milan’s magnificent cathedral and cultural treasures; and Rome, where travelers will encounter some of Christianity’s most influential religious landmarks and traditions.

The centerpiece of the journey remains the Passion Play itself. Staged in a specially constructed open-air theater, the production features hundreds of townspeople portraying biblical figures in a dramatic retelling of Christ’s Passion. More than a theatrical performance, the event is a testament to faith, community, and the enduring power of the Gospel message.

“As a company dedicated to Christian heritage and faith-based travel, Journeys Unlimited seeks experiences that allow travelers to engage more deeply with the history and traditions of Christian Faith,” Mancino added. “The Passion Play of Sordevolo embodies those values and offers an extraordinary opportunity for spiritual reflection, fellowship, and discovery.”

The tour is designed for pastors, their congregations, and Christians seeking a meaningful journey that combines faith, history, culture, and fellowship. With the Passion Play occurring only once every five years, the 2027 departures of August 27 and September 24, 2027 offer two opportunities to participate in one of Italy’s most cherished religious traditions.
