wonderful family movie, and an eye opener to the times of the Real Christmas story, the birth of Jesus Christ.

We were quite impressed with this telling of the story. Beautiful, real, human. The actors did a really good job, and it was just put together so much better than I expected. A lot of historical research obviously went into the making of this, as well as feeling and motivation to tell the true meaning of Christmas. Was great to watch it on Christmas Eve.

Totally different point of view to the usual JC story. I think it really does portray the culture behind the birth.....pretty OK

Excellent portrayal of Mary, with all the innocence of a young girl who only ever wanted to do the right thing.
Never once complained of the hardships she had to endure long the way. No wonder she was Blessed and became the Mother of Jesus.
A Movie Not to be missed.

This film is so well done!
Very convincing, and helps the viewer to fully appreciate the culture of the Jews, the Romans, and the Magi...of the time.
An awesome family film - one that you don't want to end...
