Christmas with the Chosen: Holy Night

This is a Fathom event and very well done. The movie itself is less than an hour. A highlight are the seven orchestras and bands performing Christmas music! Well know artists perform including Andrea and Matteo Bocelli singing "Oh Holy Night". Utterly incredibly beautiful! The Christmas story is tokd through the eyes of Mar the mother of Jesus and poor and humbled shepherds. Another feature are the two monologues that explain the reason and details of making this Christmas movie; it is a completely edited and remastered and restored rendition of The Messengers and The Shepherd. Christmas with The Chosen: Holy Night truly offers an enriching Christmas experience that will bless you!

I loved the Chosen Christmas Special last year but this year there was little new. The intro by director Dallas Jenkins, the Bocelli performance, Season 4 trailer, monologue by Amanda Jenkins, and flash forward with Mary M and Mary (Jesus mother) was new, but almost everything else was a repeat from last years special including the musician performances (other than Bocelli). . Why was the monologue done by Amanda (directors wife)? Why not a recognizable and much loved cast member? I wasn't particularly wowed by viewing on the big theatre screen either. It would play just as nicely on home theatre TV's. Sorry but this performance just didn't do it for me.

Look at the crop it grows episode after season and a growing series. No man knows Jesus day by day for his 33ish years on this Earth. So the Chosen has done the best to keep fans interested as well as honor the Bible. People paid to make the show and seasons later It is profitable and fights challenges to be made. But overcomes them. Bless them and I'm a fan and think fans are in Heaven, maybe help at times. I can't answer for sure here but I can one day I'm there. Hope to see you the reader there to. Watch the show, even if you disagree. Look it up, the #1 book in the world is where to look. God bless you in your search. Please don't wait to long. For Jesus returns and the pathway for Eternal Judgement begins.

Music is so uplifting . After losing my mom I needed to hear joy. This filled me. This gave me hope. I didn't expect anything more than to feel again for at least a while. And I did. This is spiritual. This is religious. And it is warming and wonderful. I feel sad for those who were expecting a traditional form of storytelling and felt the need to write mean things. I was told by so many this would sooth me and that's exactly what it did. The voices are just wonderful. If you need some calm this season - or any time- and you just need to feel connected to something bigger than you this will do it.

It was exactly what I expected based in the description and my wife and I enjoyed it immensely.

Be prepared for a modern church service with uplifting music, information about what's happening within the 'church' (Angel Studios), a sermon, mini-movie and closing music.

For those who didn't understand that going into the theater, it's unfortunate some of you left before the mini production of Joseph and Mary's trip to Bethlehem and search for a place to stay as well as the Shepherd's story.

If you have a chance, it is well worth your time, just understand what you are going to see and sit back and let it soak in.
