Christianity has been the bandwagon Hollywood seems to be jumping on since the success smash of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. In The Nativity Story, we experience the journey of Mary and Joseph and the birth of a baby who would change the world forever. Events are shown, from Mary's message from the angel to Joseph's burden and doubt, all leading up to the miracle birth of Jesus.

This compelling story is brought to the screen by Oscar-nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider), who plays Mary, and directed by Catherine Hartwicke (Thirteen). The biggest worry comes in the form of accuracy to Biblical scriptures and stories.

Group ticket sales will be available. The Nativity Story is rated PG for some violent content, and due to hit theaters nationwide on Dec. 1. Check out the trailer at thenativitystory.com.
