CONSTANTINOS PSILLIDES takes a closer look at an Easter classic
Jesus of Nazareth, the 1977 British-Italian epic TV series directed by Franco Jefirelli about the life and death of Jesus Christ, is probably one of the best-known series among Christians. The sprawling epic has been broadcast on Cyprus TV every year during Easter week for over 30 years. Watching the series every night during Easter week is like a tradition, just something you are supposed to be doing, like going to church or paying taxes.
