Mel Gibson's Amazing Crucifixion Gesture

In September 2026, the classic film The Passion of the Christ will be re released in cinemas across the world.

It comes ahead of the release of The Resurrection films next Easter.

There are many amazing stories about the film, including Jim Caviezel being struck by lightning while on the Cross, the conversion of the actor who played Judas and many more.

One amazing story that many people are unaware of is that it was Mel Gibson himself who is seen hammering the nails into Christ in the crucifixion scene.

Gibson said that he felt it was fitting that he do it over someone else, as he wanted to show that he was a sinner and it was his sins that put Jesus on the Cross as much as anyone else’s.
