The World On arirang

After Holy Journey Part 1 and Part 2 were aired last year, the common perception towards monks as living mysterious lives while rigorously practicing stoicism was shattered by the cheerful Benedictine monks. This 2-part series made a great impression on many viewers.

We visit the abbey again a year later. Even though the monks were still camera-shy, they wholeheartedly welcomed the documentary crew.

“If I were to cite the big change in our community, it would be the slight change in the members of our abbey.”

We remember each and every monk we met. What kind of changes have happened since then?

In Holy Journey Part 3: The Path, we reveal for the first time the ceremony of taking the solemn vows, where a monk vows to devote himself to God for life.

“When you have someone take the solemn vows, then that’s a huge blessing to the abbey.”

In this episode, we also tell the story of an only son who has his parents blessings to dedicate himself to God.
