It is the Christmas story about when baby Jesus was born.
La Pastorela:
La Pastorela tells the story of the shepherds' journey to Bethlehem to witness the first Christmas.
Two thousand years ago, a pregnant and blessed teenager, along with her new husband, sojourned to Bethlehem to take part in the Roman census. With a bright star before them and the devil at their backs, the couple found their destination packed with fellow travelers and were turned away time and again before a compassionate innkeeper gave permission for them to take shelter in his stable. There, on a bed of straw, the Christ child was born. Shepherds would soon appear to pay homage to the baby.
The journey of the shepherds is the focus of 'La Pastorela,' a dramatic play from the Mexican culture of the American southwest circa the mid-19th century. This parodic interpretation of the story uses song and dance to dramatize the battle between good and evil that raged along the shepherd's journey. The devil does all he can to keep the shepherds from succeeding, but in the end good triumphs over evil -- with the help from Saint Gabriel (San Gabriel).
