The Nativity Story will soon be released to a movie theater near you. As the title suggests, the film tells the story of events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Two of the actors in the film are Academy Award nominees: Keisha Castle-Hughes (Mary, mother of Jesus) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (Mary's cousin Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist). Alexander Siddig, who was Dr. Bashir on Star Trek:Deep Space Nine, portrays the archangel Gabriel.
Will Nativity reach the same crowd that went to see The Passion of the Christ? Possibly.
The Nativity Story is the first feature film to debut at the Vatican. Pope Benedict XVI was not present. Castle-Hughes was reportedly not invited, since she is pregnant at only 16 years of age.
