Do you have a favorite Easter film? I have a few.
For Kids of all ages: The Easter Promise
This sweet movie, The Easter Promise, (I think of it as: The Passion of the Christ for kids, broke my heart 💔 in the best possible way. I'm ashamed to admit that prior to seeing this simple cartoon, I had never given thought to the horrors children witnessed as they watched an innocent man carry his cross through the streets of Jerusalem to Calvary.
"Set in the historically rich city of Jerusalem, the story follows a wide-eyed dreamer, Jerem, his spirited sister Elizabeth and cousin Samuel on their quest to save a king.
Jerem has always dreamed of being a great soldier for a king despite the fact that no one seemed to take him seriously. That is until Jerem met two mysterious pharisees who promise to make his dream come true for a price. A price Jerem soon realizes he is not willing to pay.
While Jerem is following his dream the evil merchant Haman and his wisecracking associates Dorcus and Gyrus are following him. Haman has other plans for Jerem, Elizabeth and Samuel. The kids are soon faced with tough decisions and tougher challenges as they try to serve their new "King".
With a delightful mix of breath-taking animation, believable characters,superb original music and playful humor, "THE EASTER PROMISE", will leave viewers asking for more."

Movie Clips
#1 Passion of the Christ
The acting is superb. I'll never get over the way Mel Gibson and the actors portrayed the special bond between Jesus Christ and his mother Mary 😭. The actor who portrayed the Apostle John had no lines in this film and yet his performance also leaves me in tears.
#2 Charlton Heston in Ben Hur
Timeless.
#3 The Young Messiah
Parenting the King of Kings:
Boy Jesus playing with his toy: "I was praying--- and playing. I'm sorry, I was supposed to help James."😭
Joseph: "Your questions are the questions of a child, but the answers are the answers for a man."
#4 The Nativity Story
How it all began.
#5 RISEN

Xavier is a being that must murder / kill to survive. He's offputting and hates social interaction, and would rather sit in silence and stare than be forced into conversation. But the moment... the moment a little baby or young child comes around... his paternal instincts activate. He's the father now.

Watching The Young Messiah for Johnny's performance in it and obviously his character is awful but why did they decide to give him long beautiful hair and a little beret????

okay troll rose headcanons:
-she’s an aerial contortionist; likes to perform over pits of sharp objects for extra fun
-very fast and very flexible
-gets in a lot of theological (verbal and physical) fights for fun both within and outside of her caste
-is in desperate need of a moirail but will emotionally destroy you if you try to pacify her. she claims she doesn’t believe in pale serendipity but she isn’t going to acknowledge anyone that doesn’t meet her high standards (which are classified)
-bullies seadwellers on the nightly
-always wearing the green ribbon she stole from her matesprit on their first meeting, back when she had initially been pitch flirting. sometimes she’ll switch to different colored headbands, but she always makes sure to move the ribbon to the current one, even if it clashes
