From the Manger to the Cross - The Kiss of Judas
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful scene from the silent film "From the Manger to the Cross," also known as "Jesus of Nazareth," produced in 1912. This iconic image captures the moment of betrayal as depicted in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The scene takes place in Jerusalem during the Holy Land's tumultuous time, with the backdrop of ancient architecture and a bustling crowd. In the foreground, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, approaches Jesus with a traitorous intention. He leans in to plant a kiss on Jesus' cheek, signaling to the armed Roman soldiers and Jewish temple guards waiting in the shadows to arrest their leader. Jesus, unaware of the impending betrayal, looks surprised and saddened as Judas' lips touch his cheek. The other disciples, shocked and dismayed, look on in disbelief. This poignant moment encapsulates the tragic nature of the betrayal and the beginning of Jesus' journey towards the cross. The silent film "From the Manger to the Cross," produced in 1912, was a significant milestone in the history of cinema. It is considered one of the earliest and most influential religious films, showcasing the story of Jesus' life from his birth to his crucifixion. The film was shot on location in Palestine, providing an authentic backdrop for the biblical story. This evocative image of "The Kiss of Judas" is a testament to the enduring power of religious storytelling and the role of cinema in preserving and sharing historical narratives. It remains an essential piece of both cinematic and religious history.
