It seems Twitter is Passionate for Fox’s The Passion!

Sunday night’s two-hour live show was a hit for many around the country and in the Twittersphere.

The show stars Jencarlos Canela as Jesus, country star Trisha Yearwood as Mary, Chris Daughtry as Judas and Prince Royce as Peter.

The Passion‘s story was shot throughout New Orleans and host Tyler Perry led hundreds in songs and prayers in the city’s downtown. Although only a few hundred people were able to witness the show in New Orleans, millions online felt the power.

Watching people worship on live TV in New Orleans right now is really cool. #ThePassionLive

@KChenoweth I've never seen #ThePassion told from this perspective. Same story. Same truths. Putting it into today. Now that's cool.

The fact that #ThePassionLive is on tv is proof so many people are searching for something more meaningful than what they have now. So cool!

Whether you like #ThePassionLive or not, it's opening up a dialogue about Christianity and why it's okay to be a proud Christian.
