Long before books and movies, people preserved faith and culture by telling stories. Christians told bible stories. In the 1500s, Spanish speaking Christians came to New Mexico and acted out stories for the Native people already here. Over time, many villages throughout New Mexico performed these “miracle” plays.
La Pastorela is one of the plays used to teach about the birth of Jesus. It is the story of simple shepherds invited by an angel to go see the Christ Child in Belén. As the shepherds make their way to Belén, they stumble with human weaknesses.
