In Nazareth, a town oppressed by the devastating taxation practices of King Herod, a teenage girl, Mary, is told by her parents that they have arranged for her to marry Joseph. Distraught by the idea of marrying a man she hardly knows, Mary takes refuge in a grove to collect her thoughts. There, she is visited by an angel, who tells her that she has been chosen by God to bear his son. Despite the public scorn from an unwed pregnancy, together, Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for a census mandated by the King. It is here, with a great celestial event revealing his prophecy, in a history-defining event, that Jesus is born. 16x9 widescreen (2.35:1) version of the film 4x3 fullscreen (1.33:1) version of the film Theatrical trailer English Dolby Digital 5.1 and English 2.0 Stereo Surround English & Spanish subtitles Closed captions Animated menus *DVD special features subject to change. |
