For the first Friday of Lent, when so many parishes will begin praying the Stations of the Cross, here’s a glimpse at one man’s vision of that seismic event — and a little piece of movie history, to boot.

It’s the very first trailer for “The Passion of the Christ,” back when it was still called simply “The Passion.” (Copyright laws, I believe, forced a change in title, since that one was taken.) It has a different soundtrack from the finished movie, as well.
