Olivier Fleury and Martin Hoegger were received on March 25, 2019, by Pope Tawadros to present to him the vision of a decade of the resurrection to prepare the jubilee of 2033: the 2000 years of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They were accompanied by the leaders of the Focolare Movement in Egypt.

Olivier Fleury spent a week in Quebec, in January 2019, visiting differing peoples groups covering several differing languages. The reception of the vision of JC2033 was very positive.

During our stay in Moscow we visited officials of the various churches. After the two articles devoted to the Catholic and the Orthodox Church, we met also with members of Protestant and Evangelical Churches that highlight the importance of evangelization.

The resurrection is at the heart of orthodox spirituality and worship. The JC2033 delegation continued to meet important leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church during their stay in Moscow.

Larissa and Yevgeni Musina, a couple belonging to the Brotherhood of Transfiguration, a great movement in the Russian Orthodox Church, are waiting for us on our arrival and are driving us to our accommodation. “We”, namely Olivier Fleury, director of the project “Jesus Celebration 2033” (JC2033), Gérald Bailat, our videographer-photographer and Martin Hoegger. It is this fraternity, which unites more than 2000 people each year during the Transfiguration they invited us to participate in its celebration and to present the Jesus Celebration 2033 project.

Our voyage in the Holy Land (May 2018) brought us to meet believers of different ecclesiastic backgrounds. The idea was to encounter them in their personal settings replete with longsuffering but also joy and hope.

Guests at the Conference of Secretaries of Christian World Communions, Olivier Fleury and Martin Hoegger presented the project of "Jesus Celebration 2033" to some 30 leaders and invited them to reflect on a "decade of the Resurrection".
