Also, if you read the article, it says one of the workers was struck by lightning twice and walked away unharmed

I'm asking because this lightning stuff happened almost 3 years ago so I'm wondering if anyone out there has heard anything since then. Thank you

Yes Jim was struck during filming. He's okay. He filmed Bobby Jones AFTER Passion of the Christ - so if you've seen that movie you know he's doing okay.
Jim is not an atheist, he and his wife are devoted Catholics.

The actor was a Athiest I heard......
ROME, Italy -- Actor Jim Caviezel, who plays Jesus in Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion of Christ" was struck by lightning during shooting.
Caviezel was uninjured, but a producer described how he saw smoke coming from the actor's ear.
An assistant director on the film, Jan Michelini, was also hit -- for the second time in a few months.
The first time, a lightning fork struck his umbrella during filming on top of a hill near Matera in Italy, causing light burns to the tips of his fingers, VLife, a supplement to Variety publications said in its October issue.
A few months later the second strike happened, a few hours from Rome.
Michelini was again carrying an umbrella, and standing next to Caviezel on top of a hill, the magazine said.
Both were hit, with the main bolt striking Caviezel while one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella. Neither were hurt.
The film, which is spoken in Latin and Aramaic, has come in for criticism from some religious leaders. It portrays the last hours of Jesus, but some Jewish and Roman Catholic groups are concerned the film will fuel anti-Semitism.

The scene of the crucifixion befell for the period of a real thunder hurricane and Jim Cazaviel change into raised at a height that made him a objective for lightening,even if he change into no longer seriously injured it really is more beneficial than unusual.

I did read that there were several unusual occurrences while filming but have not seen any follow-up. If there is any information it might be on the official movie website.

Yes, I remember hearing that, they had to stop filming for a while, he was on the cross when it struck, I'm sure he was ok, he managed to continue filming.
