Synopsis

“The scene is the kitchen of that Inn in Bethlehem...

On a low stool before the fire sits a small, coarse woman...”

It turns out that not everyone is pleased with the birth of a child in a manger in Bethlehem, and the more wondrous the events around the birth, the more skeptical the reaction.

A cynical shepherd is angry when a servant girl brings news of the birth of a mystical child in the stable, now filled with people coming to pay homage.
