Easter, April 20th; Passover, April 15th; and Vesak May 13th
(commemorating the Buddha's birthday) are celebrated each spring. At
the heart of each religion's Spring Holy Day is the acknowledgement
and faith of the presence of The Spirit of the Creator that imbues all
existence with life and renewal.
At the core of all faiths lies the same belief and experience of the
"Source of Existence," filmmaker Catherine Corona surprisingly
discovered as she interviewed worshippers of the 6 major world
religions: Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Lakota
Traditional Spirituality (representing the 6th largest Spiritual
tradition: indigenous faiths).
"Compassion, understanding and peace thrive when we embrace our
similarities and understand that no matter what faith tradition -- we
all are born and come from the same Spiritual Spring," says Corona,
writer/producer/director of "The Great Mystery."
"There's a Great Mystery out there. You can open yourself up to it;
experience some of it. But you'll never understand it. But you don't
need to understand it. You just need to relate to it," explains Vine
Deloria, Jr. in the movie (considered one of the leading theologians
in the past hundred years).
That is what the Spring Holy Days are about, preparing the fertile
spring ground and continuing to renew our relationship with the
Divine. Awareness and mystery are revealed through the many
fascinating voicesin "The Great Mystery."
In acknowledgement and celebration of these Holy Days, Corona Films is
presenting a FREE online screening of the award-winning Feature
Documentary "The Great Mystery," an exploration of the 6 major world
religions.

inspiring, entertaining and deepening spiritual journey by watching an
extraordinary discovery of the Spirit at the Heart of each religious
tradition.
"Combining her curiosity about God with a quest to contribute like her
uncle, Corona embarked on a road trip through western America. In the
film she visits a Lakota holy site, Tibetan Buddhist temple, Islamic
mosque, Catholic church, Jewish synagogue and Hindu temple to inquire
about perceived divisions among religions." - Chicago Tribune Review
"[The Great Mystery is] a noble effort in acquainting people with the
similarities among the world's different religions and poses
commendable hope in their ability to work together to produce
everlasting peace. Overall, it does a great job of promoting
interfaith tolerance and coexistence, as well as launching a plea for
interreligious cooperation in order to solve the world's many problems
today." - Islamic Insights Review
