Introduction

Narrator:
In the beginning, everything was darkness, and God separated the light from the darkness, he created the
universe and all that exists in it, God created man in his image and likeness,
and put it above all living beings.
The man had everything to be happy. However, one day he was tempted by the evil one.
and broke his friendship with God.
But not everything was lost... There was still a hope. God in His infinite
mercy promises humanity a savior.
From the offspring of the woman will come a holy and pure virgin who will give birth to a
child and he will be called the Son of God (who will come from the promised woman, she will be
virgin and pure).

Act I The Annunciation

Narrator:
Many years passed and humanity eagerly awaited the promise.
made by God. In a humble village of Nazareth lived a beautiful young woman named
Maria, who was engaged to a young man named Joseph.
One day, while she was in prayer, a very important event occurred, let us see
What happened?

Angel:
Rejoice, Mary, for you have found grace in the eyes of God! You will conceive and give birth to
light a son whom you will name Jesus, he will be called the Son of God and he will be
the savior of the world and his kingdom will have no end.

The Holy Spirit will overshadow you and you will conceive, therefore the child who

I am the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your will.

Act II The Plan of Satan

Narrator:
The prophecy had been fulfilled. Very soon the savior would be among men.
making known their message of love.
But the evil one 'Satan' could not remain with his arms crossed without doing anything.
nothing. Now more than ever I wanted to prevent men from getting close to God.
Let's see what happens in hell.

Satan
(worried) it can't be, this is the last straw, the Messiah is about to be born and I haven't
done nothing, I have to think about how to prevent the world from becoming a
cursilería, just imagining happy men helping each other
mutually, giving their best... Brr it boils my blood.
Where are my subjects? . . .
Sloth, lust, envy, wrath, gluttony, pride, and greed come to me.
Let's see, what have they been doing on Earth, don't they know that the Messiah is about to be born?
and that we have to drive people away from good and swell our ranks of evil.
Your lust, what stories do you give me.

Lust:
Well, everyone falls for me, well, almost everyone. I introduce myself to them in
multiple forms, thoughts, words, and above all works, I seduce them with the
beautiful presentation of the body and with my false happiness, you know darling, I am
irresistible.

Envy:
Hey, if you think you're the best, but I have more followers than you, it's been a while.
In minutes I managed to get two Jews to fight and one killed the other's new camel.
because I whispered to him that I couldn't allow him to have a brand new camel,
better and faster.

Greed
To have, to have, to have, someone spoke of having. I seduce men.
instilling in them the idea of loving money and material goods. Of course, without giving
nothing to the others. Like when I made a rich and selfish guy strip away a
poor widow of her few belongings because she was one day late in the payment of her
rent.

Satan:
And you, what have you done?

Ira:
Don't tell me anything, because why don't you ask laziness that has been around all day?
throwing it, truthfully, you don't tell him anything, and what do you say about gluttony, all the time it
it's been a little while to have an aperitif, it's coming around.

Pride
Well, I don't need any of you, bunch of fools. I will just manage to throw out.

Everyone:
Lizard lizard lizard.

Satan:
I do not allow uprisings, I am the one who commands here. Prepare your best.
temptations because right now we are going to work extra hours, we have a
birth that must be avoided!

Lucifer:
Who is going to be born?

Satan:
The Messiah!

Lucifer
What, what, what? And who is that?

Satan:
In a mocking tone.
The Son of God

Lucifer
So, why is this little baby so important that it makes all of us work!

Satan:
Because with his birth he comes to redeem the world, to bring peace and love to the
hearts, and to achieve peace and happiness reigning in this world... brrrr!!!! From
Just thinking about it gives me horror, enough with the questions, come on, let's get to work, ball

Don't worry José, remember that the almighty Lord watches over us and
nothing happens without his will. It is true that I have gotten a little tired,
but the joy in my heart is so great when I think that soon
I will have the Son of God in my arms. Do you realize, Joseph? The Lord has you
chosen not only to seek shelter for him but to be his protector.

José:
Maria, your words nourish my faith, wrap me in an enormous joy, that
a great mystery, the love of God, having chosen me, a poor carpenter from
Nazareth to protect her divine son! the awaited Messiah, the future king of Israel!

Maria:
José, it seems that this is an inn, let's call.
(José knocks on the door)

Innkeeper:
Yes, what do you want?

José:
Look, sir, we come from very far, we need a place to spend the night,
My wife is very tired and is about to give birth, she couldn't host us.
Even if it's just for tonight?

Innkeeper:
I'm sorry, but the inn is full. If you want, there are some caves that work.
