On September 22, 2026, the Patriarchal Patriarch of All Belarus, Metropolitan Veniamin of Minsk and Zaslavl, took part in the morning program "Get Wounded, Belarus" on the TV channels "Belarus 1" and "Belarus 24". Together with him, TV presenter Inga Belova became a guest of the studio. The bishop spoke about the spiritual and educational project of the Belteleradiocompany "Pilgrim. The Road to the Temple", which will premiere on September 27 on "Belarus 3" TV channel, the cycle includes eight episodes.
Metropolitan Veniamin blessed the project, and His Eminence also participates in the selection of filming directions and locations. According to the Patriarchal Exarch, the most ancient and famous monasteries were selected first of all for the cycle, and the sequence of issues is associated with the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War: the route included Brest, the Brest Fortress and the convent located on its territory. The Patriarchal exarch noted that not all Belarusians are aware of the places of their native land that are important from a spiritual point of view, and the "Pilgrim" gives them the opportunity to enter places where access is not always open to everyone.
Inga Belova said that the idea of the project belongs to the head of the "Belarus 3" TV channel. Filming was conducted according to the monastic schedule: first, worship and obedience, then the work of the television group. " " By the end of filming, the team had learned to dispense with loud commands — the words "camera" and "sound" were pronounced with the same eyes, so as not to disturb the silence of the monastery. The project has plans to continue, including trips outside of Belarus.
Answering the question about what the project should give to the audience, Metropolitan Veniamin called the main thing the introduction to the spiritual heritage of the people and attention to why a particular place is especially marked on the Belarusian land.
