Jonathan Roumie, center, who plays Christ in the series “The Chosen,” is pictured in a scene from Season 5 depicting the Last Supper. Beginning March 27, the new season of the hit series, which focuses on the life of Jesus and his closest disciples, will hit theaters in the weeks leading up to Easter, which is April 20. The season will debut later in 2025 on streaming services. (OSV News photo/The Chosen)
A great film to watch over the Easter period to remind you of what it’s all about. Number 5 in a series, this one is based around the Last Supper, as the picture shows. I went with my husband last week and would thoroughly recommend it both as a ‘stand alone’ film or as part of the series. There are some scenes of emotional upset and trauma but that is to be expected, the crucifixion was never a pretty scene and this Roman form of torture was rather barbaric. Still a glorious resurrection followed which gives us all hope of a better future for all who believe in Jesus.
I qualified as a journalist in 2002 and after a period working as a freelance for Gloucester Media writing advertorials, interviews, articles and press releases I have gone on to write for lots of magazines and newspapers, both local and national. I write regularly for the Writers and Readers magazine but have also written for CPO's Inspire, the New Writer, Classic Ford, and Take a Break's My Favourite Recipes among many others. I published my first full-length historical novel. Waireka in 2018 and my romantic novella, Alpha Male in 2016. Both can be found on Amazon. Please follow the links on my book page.
