About Biblical Festival Este
The Biblical Festival in Este
The Biblical Festival is a nationally significant cultural event that each year proposes, around a central theme, meetings, dialogues, performances, and workshops dedicated to the Bible, read as a shared cultural and spiritual heritage. Founded in Vicenza, the festival now involves numerous cities in the Northeast, including stages in the Diocese of Padua.

The events feature biblical meetings and dialogues with theologians and scholars, in a journey that intertwines Scripture and current affairs.
