Depicting well-known incidents in the life of Jesus Christ, this milestone of early cinema achieved world fame and a screen life of decades when most secular films of the time measured their commercial life in weeks. The original French title for the film was La Vie et la passion de Jésus Christ (The Life and the Passion of Jesus Christ). At least ten different Passion Play films were released between 1897 and 1914, including three by Pathé in 1902, 1907, and 1914. The 1902 version was expanded and revised several times by Pathé before this all-new remake was released in 1907 which includes a distinctive Annunciation scene.
