I LOVE the tenderness between Jesus and Mary in The Chosen; the authentic love that exists between a mother and son. I love how Jesus looks out for her when He is arrested and how Mary takes care of Him when He is physically spent from a long day of healing. I love how she runs to help Him when he comes back, obviously exhausted, while His followers just sit there, watching, more than likely, feeling ashamed that they were more focused on themselves. Vanessa's reaction & response when she sees her son, struggling to even walk to His tent is ABSOLUTELY the heart of a mother - so genuine, caring & loving. Such an amazing show and cast!! Thank you, Vanessa and Jonathan, for all your hard work and for displaying such a beautiful relationship between Mary and Jesus. ♥♥

Vanessa does an incredible job as Mother Mary! She brings to life the mystery mixed with humanity in a believable, relatable way.

I couldn't believe Vanessa is so young playing Mother Mary! I've never considered her relationship with Jesus in this warm, human way and I love watching her.

[@virginiaconnolly1823]

Mary was very young.. most likely a teenager.. when Jesus was born...

[@mariemcclure151]

Vanessa you are so amazing. I love watching you act. Keep up the great work.

[@eileenmcgrath4457]

I thank God for The Chosen portraying Jesus and His followers as real people. Makes me want to be with Jesus even more! I can't wait to hear His laugh. I imagine He has the heartiest laugh ♥

My favorite woman on the show! ❤️🙏🏻👏🏻

Wow! Good interview. I would have loved to hear how Vanessa and Jonathan formed that mother son relationship from her perspective. The fact that she had a baby while the show was going on wow I wonder how they worked around that and her thoughts. Good job. Love The Chosen!!

[@michelebradbury6104]

Wow, that's something I had no idea about her baby. Amazing

Raczej wypowiadaj się za siebie. Polacy - katolicy kochają Matkę Bożą.

[@dakotahstr]

Question. Would a cast member contact a fan member from Facebook and ask them to add them to what's app

[@ms_needle]

Nope its a scam

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

[@melianna999]
