Watch: Mary wrestles with her doubts in a new Journey to Bethlehem featurette
Also, a clip of the Magi's first meeting with King Herod is now on social media.
I mentioned last week that ‘Mother to a Savior and King’ might be my favorite song on the Journey to Bethlehem soundtrack album, and I even singled out a couple of lyrics from the song that stood out to me. Now you can see footage of Mary singing one of those lyrics, courtesy of a new featurette that focuses on Mary, the actress who plays her, and the significance of that song to the character.
You can watch the featurette here:
If you want to hear the whole song, it is available on all the usual music platforms, and you can also hear it via the YouTube clip below:
Meanwhile, I notice that several clips from the film have been released on Twitter and Facebook that are not available on YouTube. Most of them are only 30 seconds long, maybe less, so I won’t bother highlighting them here, but I did want to draw attention to a slightly longer clip in which the Magi meet King Herod and ask him for help:
The Facebook version is one minute long and consists of just dialogue.
The Twitter version has a runtime of 1:49 and includes the first half-minute of the Magi’s song, ‘Three Wise Guys’.
As noted above, the full Journey to Bethlehem soundtrack album has been available for a few days now. The film itself will be in theatres this Thursday night.
