Santo Domingo, R.D. – Cada Viernes Santo, miles de familias dominicanas se reúnen frente al televisor para mantener viva una tradición que combina fe, reflexión y unión familiar: ver películas religiosas que recrean pasajes bíblicos.

Entre las producciones más emblemáticas destaca La Pasión de Cristo, dirigida por Mel Gibson y protagonizada por Jim Caviezel, una cinta que retrata con intensidad las últimas horas de Jesucristo. Su realismo y carga emocional la han convertido en una de las favoritas durante esta fecha.

Asimismo, clásicos como Jesús de Nazaret, interpretado por Robert Powell, y Los Diez Mandamientos, protagonizada por Charlton Heston, continúan siendo opciones recurrentes en la programación televisiva y en plataformas digitales.

Para un público más amplio, incluyendo niños y jóvenes, también resalta la película animada El Príncipe de Egipto, que narra la historia de Moisés con un enfoque dinámico y accesible.

Esta práctica, más allá del entretenimiento, forma parte del recogimiento espiritual que caracteriza la Semana Santa. A través del cine, los dominicanos refuerzan valores religiosos, recuerdan la pasión y muerte de Jesucristo, y comparten en familia momentos de reflexión.

Una costumbre que, año tras año, reafirma la fe y la identidad cultural del pueblo dominicano.
