THE NATIVITY STORY
SYNOPSIS
A cinematic journey into the heart of history's
greatest story, The Nativity Story is poised to come
to the big screen for the first time in a major motion
picture event.
New Line Cinema's The Nativity Story chronicles the
arduous journey of two people, Mary and Joseph, a
miraculous pregnancy, and the history-defining birth
of Jesus. The dramatic and compelling film traces
the perilous journey of a young couple who must
travel from their home in Nazareth to Bethlehem,
Joseph's ancestral home, to register for a census
ordered by King Herod. It is a journey of over 100
miles, through treacherous terrain, made much
more difficult by the fact that Mary is nine months
pregnant.
