Part 1: 10 Movies for You to Enjoy on Your Easter Holiday

1. The Greatest Story Ever Told

The Greatest Story Ever Told is a 1965 American epic film, retelling the Biblical account about Jesus of Nazareth, from the Nativity through to the Ascension. This movie was shot in Utah and Arizona, the locations that could effectively double as Palestine at the time of Christ.

Peter Rabbit is a 2018 American live-action/computer-animated comedy film directed by Will Gluck and written by Rob Lieber and Gluck. In this movie, the main character, a rabbit named Peter accidentally takes over McGregor's manor and he invites other animals together to manage this manor.

This animated film is an ideal choice for you to spend your Easter holiday with your kids.

The Miracle Maker is a 1999 British-Russian-American stop motion-animated film about the life of Jesus Christ, through the eyes of Tamar; the terminally ill daughter of Jairus, a priest in Capernaum. Hand-drawn animated cartoons are used to distinguish flashbacks, parables, stories, spiritual encounters and visions from the main plot, which is all in stop motion. The film was directed by Derek Hayes and Stanislav Sokolov. It’s a good option as a movie about Jesus Christ.

The Passion of the Christ (also known simply as The Passion) is a 2004 American biblical drama film directed by Mel Gibson, written by Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald.
