Easter Movies for the Whole Family

Every day is a great day to learn more about Christ. But Easter weekend is the best time to watch amazing productions together as a family. Whether you’re looking for a series or a movie, we’ve collected some great film and TV options for your Easter weekend.

Jesus of Nazareth

Released in 1977, Jesus of Nazareth follows Christ from His birth through the Resurrection, beautifully depicting major moments. The movie features a large cast of wonderful actors including Olivia Hussey as Mary and Robert Powell as Jesus. Fair warning, this movie is PG-13.

The Ten Commandments

Easter’s origins are in the Passover that occurred as part of the Plagues sent by God to the Egyptians. A great way to delve deep into the history of Easter and learn more about Jewish history is to start with the life of Moses. The Ten Commandments follows Moses from his birth to the parting of the Red Sea, to receiving the tablets with the Ten Commandments.

House of David

Jesus’ ancestors include King David, and his life was amazing. A shepherd boy, warrior, psalmist, and king, David was truly a vessel for God’s Will. This series is new, released in 2025, and may not be the most accurate depiction of this amazing man’s life, but is still an interesting watch for the family.

Prince of Egypt

This classic, animated film depicts the life of Moses. Once again, a great way to learn about Passover, and therefore the beginning events that foreshadow Christ’s Passion. This beautiful movie features amazing scenes from Moses’ life as well as a score and music by Hans Zimmer.

VeggieTales: An Easter Carol

In classic VeggieTales fashion, this delightful special adapts Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to tell the story of a grumpy Mr. Nezzar who is taught the true meaning of Easter and the error of Mr. Nezzar’s ways.

We hope you have a chance to spend time as a family enjoying these bits of light in the world of Hollywood and prepare to celebrate Easter!
