Summary
The scene is an inn on the way to Bethlehem on the night of Christ's birth. The inn's occupants are too busy with their squabbles and personal worries to sense the great, holy event occurring in a stable nearby. Only a slave and a little lame girl are prepared for this momentous occasion. It is a very dramatic, touching play. A good opportunity for singing clubs or choirs, but the music may be minimal if desired.
