This Sunday, FOX will host "The Passion." It is a live, two hour musical extravaganza that will retell the story of Jesus Christ's life, and it takes place in modern time.  A star studded cast is set to perform in front of a live audience on the riverfront in New Orleans. Some of the headliners include JenCarlos Canela as Jesus, Chris Daughtry as Judas, and Trisha Yearwood as Mary.

Thousands of people are set to line the streets of the city from the Mercedes Benz Superdome, all the way to Woldenberg Park, witnessing a giant illuminated cross that will make its way to the live stage.  New Orleans native Tyler Perry will narrate the event.  Perry caught up with Good Day Atlanta's Karen Graham on Friday from New Orleans via satellite.  For more on "The Passion," click here.
