Lançado em Paris em abril de 1906 e posteriormente distribuído com legendas recém-traduzidas em maio de 1907 nos Estados Unidos. É dividido em 25 cenas separadas, desde a chegada a Belém, até onde José e Maria são afastados do estábulo para o sepultamento de Cristo. Pelos padrões do período, foi uma obra ambiciosa e prodigiosa, bem como épica em tempo de execução, já que é de uma época em que a maioria dos filmes duravam apenas alguns minutos. Em cada uma das sequências, Guy procura ritualizar a vida e a morte de Cristo com uma série de ações gestuais, em que as fases da vida de Cristo podem ser segmentadas em uma série de performances tableaux.
