You will believe.........from the upcoming movie "Mary, Mother of Christ", 2015. Perfect time to prepare the masses for the worldwide spectacle.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-actress-might-play-mary-mother-of-jesus/Israeli-American actress Odeya Rush is set to play a young Mary in the upcoming semi-historical film “Mary, Mother of Christ.”
“I read the script nervously,” Rush, 15, told the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth on Thursday. “But I found that there is no trace of anything against Judaism.”
The film will be produced by Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen, a well-known American televangelist, based on a script written by Barbara Nicolosi and Benedict Fitzgerald. Nicolosi was a “theological consultant” on Mel Gibson’s highly controversial and hugely successful 2004 movie “The Passion of the Christ.” Fitzgerald wrote the screenplay with Gibson. The new film is being called a prequel to that megamovie.
“
Mary, Mother of Christ” follows New Testament accounts and traces the life of Mary from her childhood to young womanhood, highlighting the difficulties she experienced caring for her child, Jesus. Rush will play Mary at ages
eight,
15 and
19.

Malta has lost out to Matera in southern Italy as the shooting location for the upcoming feature film Mary, Mother of Christ - the prequel to Mel Gibson’s 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ. The decision to change location was announced by the film’s producer Francesco Di Silvio.
It is said that the producers opted for a more attractive offer from
a group of Italian financiers, who promised them millions of Euros on condition that they shoot in Matera.

Now....where is Matera on the map?
just almost on the heel..........their "heel".........in reality .......... is the dragon...........http://www.ewtn.com/library/ANSWERS/KEY2MARY.htmTHE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING MARY James Akin
Queen of HeavenThe first is that Mary is the Queen of Heaven. Now, of course we all know that Christ, the Second Adam, is the King of Heaven. But if the Second Adam is the King of Heaven, then it is only natural for the Second Eve to be the Queen of Heaven. And this is something we see in the Bible. In Revelation 12, when we see Mary in heaven, clothed with the sun and standing on the moon, notice that she is wearing a crown of twelve stars on her head. How much more clearly could one signify that someone is the Queen of Heaven than by having them wear a heavenly crown made up of stars?
There are other aspects of Mary's queenship we could bring out. For example, the fact that Christ is King and Mary is his mother means that Mary is the Queen Mother—the mother of the King. But this should suffice on the subject for now. So at this point, let us turn to one final doctrine about Mary that troubles Protestants, the fact that she is our mother.
........................
The Catholic, however, is sure. The historical Catholic teaching is that in this passage St. John—the disciple whom Jesus loved—is made a symbol for every disciple, for every Christian, and that as a result every Christian is to regard Mary as
his mother. This is something we could derive on other grounds. Since we are all members of Christ, and since Mary is Christ's mother, Mary is also our mother through Christ.
And it is something that we are told in Revelation 12:17, where St. John tells us that after the dragon is unable to kill the manchild, the Son of Mary, and after he is unable to harm Mary herself, the dragon goes off to make war against "her other seed, wh
http://www.tldm.org/news6/genesis3.15.htmOur Lady is Prefigured in the Bible in Genesis 3:15.I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she [in the corrupt latin vulgate of Jerome] shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Genesis 3:15Gladness and joy filled the heavens and the earth, for it was she, that singular woman, immaculately conceived, spouse of the Holy Spirit, who was to be the passageway for the deliverance of her children from evil, crushing the head of Satan. In the words of Pope Pius IX, "...the Most Holy Virgin, united with Him by a most intimate and indissoluble bond, was, with Him and through Him, eternally at enmity with that poisonous serpent, and most completely triumphed over him, and thus crushed his head with her immaculate foot."[1] And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed [you and me], who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." (Apoc. 12: 13, 17) But there is nothing to fear in this war if we remain children of Mary, our heavenly Mother. Surely, as St. Maximilian Kolbe proclaims, "Our era is the era of the Immaculata.... The infernal serpent shows his head all over the world; but Mary will crush him and win decisive victory even though he constantly seeks to bite her heel."[3] As we have seen there are different schools of thought concerning this extremely important passage which the Church has declared the first gospel. Modern scholars and Protestant bible experts often say he or it while numerous Doctors and Fathers of the Church--including the great trio of Mariologists St. Alphonsus de Liguori, St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Louis De Montfort--say she. Whom shall we place our stock in? This definitely deserves a closer look.
In our own Catholic tradition, the Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome stands alone among Catholic bibles, reading ipsa, or "she." It must be noted that the Latin Vulgate was the official translation during the time of Vatican II, and into the 20th century and our generation. Since the Greek and Hebrew versions do not enjoy this distinction, the Vulgate possesses the greatest authority. The Council of Trent declared "that this same old and Vulgate edition, which has been approved by being used in the same Church for so many ages, should be accounted authentic in public lectures, disputations, sermons, and expositions, and that no one should dare or presume to reject it under any pretext whatsoever."[10] Can we not hear the words of St. Augustine telling us, "I would not believe the Gospel were I not moved thereto by the authority of the Catholic Church."[11] Furthermore, "St. Alphonsus contends that when it comes down to a choice between the Hebrew and the Vulgate, as we have here, we should hold with the Vulgate."[12] We--Catholics especially--should hold dear to the word "she," for she is our Mother.
