AUTOR: LESTER ERICK ORTIZ NICOLAS

Narrator: In the beginning, all was darkness, and God separated the light from the darkness.
He created the universe and everything that exists in it, God created man in His image and

similarity, and he placed it above all living beings. Man had everything to

child and he will be called the son of God who will come from the promised woman, she will be a virgin

Haha! No! It's not a date with me, although it may not seem like it, there's something even better.

Maria: (Wanting to laugh) Well then… tell me what I have won.

Gabriel: Nothing more and nothing less (drum rolls) Just an aut…! Oh no that's
No. Nothing more and nothing less than the privilege of being a mother!

Maria: (Indifferent) Wow… So how can I become a mother?

Gabriel: Don't you know that the power of the Lord is so great, that with the help of
Holy Spirit, you will become pregnant, it's a miracle!

Maria: And how do you want me to know? If in these times we still believe that the

José: Well, seeing it that way... I gladly accept the little job.

(The angel Gabriel begins to exit the scene)

José: (Admiring the valleys) Say hello to the boss for me!

Narrator: The prophecy had been fulfilled. Very soon the savior would be among the
men spreading their message of love.

Nothing. Now more than ever, he wanted to prevent men from coming close to God.
Let's see what happens in hell.

Débora: (Crying in the back) It's because I'm fat!

Satan: It's something important, don't ask and, come over here!

(Satan turns off the communicator and turns to his wife)

Satan: (confused) And, what do you have now?

Débora: (crying heart-wrenchingly) It's just that you don't love me anymore!

Paulo: (Trying to approach Satan) Oh, I'm just going to take it away from you for a bit...

Satan: (Nervous) No, no! I'm going with my old lady, you just train them.
I'll pay you for that.

Paulo: Whatever you wish, my lord.

then to Jerusalem some wise men from the east who were dedicated to the study of the

stars. They had been following a very bright one, which they knew would lead them

would indicate the way to the king of the Jews. Their names were Melchior, Gaspar, and

Balthasar. Melchior coming from India on his majestic elephant, Gaspar

coming from the Caucasus on his spirited steed and Balthazar originating from the East on his

noble camel. Upon arrival, they went to see Herod...

Satan: (He appears to King Herod and whispers in his ear) Don't be a fool, magnificent one.

King, the scriptures are about to be fulfilled; ask them what they know about the Messiah, like this.

Gaspar: According to our calculations and in accordance with the writings of the prophets,

we deduce that it will be in Bethlehem of Judea.

Herod: Well, go and find him! And when you find him, come and tell me.

gifts.

Gaspar: (offended and indignant) Anyway!, just tell us what your superGipi says...
that it be about our destination...

Melchor: Well, according to this, if we turn at the second star to the right

Please take pity on us, let us spend the night in your dwelling.

Maria: (Interrupts in pain) José, I can't take it anymore! This child wants to come out now!

Ma'am: (Very embarrassed) Well, my house is very small and humble but behind there is

a small stable; I know it is not much but it is all I can offer them,
I don't know if they would like to spend the night there.

José: Yes! No problem, we just need to spend the night in a safe place.
God bless you!

(The lady goes out to accompany María and José to their small stable)

José: (Sad and contemplative) I know it is not worthy of a king's birth, but it is what it is.

Maria: Thank you all very much for coming, I'm glad you are here.

uncomfortable silence

Bartolo: (Breaking the silence) The wealthy uncles have arrived!

(The three kings notice that everyone is looking at them confused, they stop fighting and
Baltasar stands up; everyone takes their gift and adjusts their clothing.

Bartolo: (Continues) Those really give good gifts!

(Chona hits Bartolo to make him keep quiet)

Melchor: Good day to all of you, we have come from very far away to
to witness the arrival of our savior, our messiah, the son of God...

(Diablo 2 comes out from behind the barn and interrupts Melchor)

Diablo 2: Yes, yes! We already understood who...

Bartolo: Come on, son of a... devil!

(Bartolo hits the Devil 2 on the head and flees the scene)

Don Gil: (Addressing Melchor) Please, continue.

Melchor: Oh, yes! We have brought some gifts for the child to enjoy.

(Each King passes one by one to give the gift to María)

Gaspar: I brought myrrh, because the baby Jesus is also a man.

(María looks at him with a face of disdain and hands it over to José)

Bartolo: (muttering) Myrrh? What myrrh? (Bertha gives him a slap).

Baltasar: I brought incense to praise the King of heaven.

José: (He stands up happy and excited) Well friends, we have to celebrate now that
the promise of God has been fulfilled, Let us eat, drink, and dance until the
tiredness! Hallelujah!
(Everyone stands up and starts to celebrate; the little devils appear disguised as
new and they start eating the food without anyone noticing.

Narrator: And just as I mentioned at the beginning, this was the story of the
birth of a King. A King who will teach us the way of good, who will us
teach to trust in God the Father Almighty. Wake up, baby Jesus, bring peace and
freedom. Let everyone come with light to the path, to the path of love. Make noise,
Play, sing. Because Jesus has been born. From this night on, it is celebrated.
Good night year after year and Christmas filled with joy in our homes, and
Of course... gifts.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

(All the characters enter the scene, bow to the audience; they begin to
sing and exit the scene).
