"The Passion of the Christ" movie

Time for me to get to bed, but I wanted to check mylot first and thought I would post one more thing before I went to bed. I have not seen the movie “The Passion of the Christ” directed by Mel Gibson, and I didn’t know that there was a theater performance with a similar name “The Passion” in 1879. However, I read something today that I thought was worth sharing. The theater actor, James O’Neil, who played the role of Jesus in 1879, was arrested by the San Francisco police for impersonating Jesus, when he left the theater, because a city ordinance, at the time, prohibited anyone from impersonating Jesus. Further, I read that Jim Caviezel, the actor who played Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ,” just a few years ago, was struck by lightning while filming the scene about the Sermon on the Mount. Who knew?
