Mary of Nazareth: From Nativity to Calvary (1995)

Directed by Cannes Film Festival award-winner Jean Dellanoy (La Symphonie Pastorale), Mary of Nazareth traces the life of Mary in her many roles - beloved daughter, wife of Joseph, mother of Jesus, and inspiration to all. Myriam Muller stars as Mary, the simple, young girl from Galilee, visited by the angel, Gabriel, who announces to her in a blinding light that she will give birth to Jesus- an event that will change the course history forever. Blind to His real mission, the people are sure that Jesus will help them to restore their nation to it's former glory. But He is there for something more important. He is not only the Jesus of history but also the Christ of faith. Share Mary's unique perspective as her son touches, heals and ministers to thousands, only to be humiliated and crucified before her very eyes. With over 100 featured actors and 8,500 extras, Mary of Nazareth is beautifully and reverently told, with nothing left out from the Gospels. One can only believe that if she had known all she would suffer as the mother of Jesus, Mary would have given the same response, "I am the Lord's servant."
