The second-season special, produced and narrated by Martin Scorsese, traces Mary\u2019s life from her marriage to Joseph to the death of Jesus on Good Friday and highlights key biblical events such as Mary giving birth in Bethlehem, Jesus turning water into wine, and the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday. The program includes a roundtable with Catholic priest Father James Martin and writers Mary Karr and Paul Elie. A notable moment portrays Jesus appearing to Mary after His Resurrection, a scene not found in the Bible, and discusses how much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-hits-new-low-as-it-plays-video-of-man-vomiting-during-serious-report-on-humanitarian-crisis\/\" title=\"CNN Hits New Low as It Plays Video of Man Vomiting During Serious Report on Humanitarian Crisis\">dramatic license<\/a> the episode adopts. Scorsese reflects on Easter\u2019s significance and describes Mary as a pivotal figure who points to her son. The episode premieres Friday at 5 a.m., two days before Palm Sunday and a week before Good Friday. Fox Nation previously released David: King of Israel, another dramatization in the series.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Fox Nation to debut Scorsese&rsquo;s The Saints special episode on Mary ahead of Easter<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2536474\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Fox Nation&rsquo;s <em>Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints<\/em> is releasing a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >special extended episode focused<\/a> on Mary, the mother of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jesus\/\">Jesus Christ<\/a>, on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The series is produced and narrated by filmmaking icon <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/premium\/3865871\/martin-scorsese-apple-tv-show-review\/\">Martin Scorsese<\/a> and is in its second season.

Martin said some people find Mary &ldquo;in a sense, more approachable&rdquo; compared to Jesus, but added that &ldquo;she&rsquo;s pointing, always, to her son.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The episode includes a scene where Jesus appears to His mother after His resurrection, an interaction not documented in the Bible. Scorsese asked how much &ldquo;dramatic license&rdquo; could be taken with these stories, to which Martin said Saint Ignatius of Loyola, a saint from the 1500s, once said, &ldquo;it may be piously believed&rdquo; that Jesus appeared to Mary after His resurrection.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/4492662\/can-government-lead-religious-revival\/\"><strong>CAN GOVERNMENT LEAD A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The episode on Mary debuts at 5 a.m. Friday, two days before Palm Sunday and a week before Good Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Fox Nation also debuted the dramatization of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4458858\/fox-nation-releasing-four-part-documentary-david\/\">King David last month in <em>David: King of Israel<\/em><\/a>.
