About the Film
MARY OF NAZARETH vividly captures the essence of Mary's profound faith and trust in God amidst the great mysteries that she lived with as the Mother of the Messiah, her compassionate humanity and concern for others, and the deep love that she and Jesus shared for one another. This movie underscores her special role in God's plan for our redemption, her unique relationship with Christ, and the tremendous suffering that she endured in union with his passion and death, as well as her serene joy at his Resurrection.

Filmed in Europe, this major new epic film on the life of Mary is the first full-length feature movie on the story of this incredible woman to be shown in theaters. It was shot in English in high definition.

MARY OF NAZARETH is directed by acclaimed European film director Giacomo Campiotti (BAKHITA, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, ST. GIUSEPPE MOSCATI) and written by Francesco Arlanch (RESTLESS HEART, PIUS XII, POPE JOHN PAUL II). The original music score was written by Guy Farley. The film stars actress Alissa Jung in a compelling and inspired portrayal of Mary, as well as other top-notch performances by Andreas Pietschmann as Jesus, and Paz Vega as Mary Magdalene.

MARY OF NAZARETH recently won the 2014 Gabriel Award for religious film of the year. The Gabriel Awards are designed to honor works of excellence in film, network and cable television and radio programs that serve audiences through the positive, creative treatment of concerns to humankind.
