The Holy Week is a time to reflect on Christ’s life and a lot of people usually do that by watching biblical films. They are meant to inspire Christians and teach about biblical characters, especially Jesus Christ. About around 20 years ago, during the Lenten Season, regular programming is usually cancelled to give way for these biblical films to be shown on National Television.
