Scene Five - No Room

Mary and Joseph arrive in Bethlehem only to find that there is no room for them to stay in a guest room of a friend or relative. Because hospitality was important to the people in their culture, a solution is offered and Mary and Joseph are allowed to stay with the animals instead of out on the street.

Scene One - Welcome to Nazareth

The journey to Bethlehem begins in Nazareth, where Mary and Joseph are living during their engagement.

Scene Two - Gabriel Visits Mary

Mary, a young woman engaged to Joseph, has her life interrupted by an angelic messenger named Gabriel. This scene takes us to Mary's house, as Mary is going about her daily chores and hanging laundry up to dry.

Scene Three - Joseph's Dream

The Angel of God brings a message to Joseph in a dream concerning the birth of Christ. This scene takes us into his carpenter's shop where he might have fallen asleep on a cot. Joseph was upset and confused by the events that were happening.
