In a chilly Bethlehem night, four shepherds, Abel, Joel, Ezra, and Seth, gather around a fire, discussing the cold weather and the bustling activity due to Caesar Augustus' census. Joel spots a bright light in the sky, but the others dismiss it as a natural phenomenon. Suddenly, an angelic chorus illuminates the sky, announcing the birth of a Savior in Bethlehem. The shepherds, initially skeptical and unsure of their worthiness, decide to visit this newborn king. After a long journey, they arrive at a stable in Bethlehem, where they find Mary and Joseph with the baby Jesus. Overwhelmed by the simplicity yet profoundness of the scene, they offer modest gifts to the baby. Mary and Joseph welcome them warmly, accepting their gifts and offering them bread and water in return. The shepherds leave, deeply moved by the experience, with a newfound purpose to spread the word about the extraordinary event they witnessed. Mary gifts them a woolen blanket for their youngest lamb, symbolizing the warmth and blessing of the encounter. The shepherds return to their flock, carrying the story of the king born in a stable, a tale that would forever change and guide them.
