Each day he grows more and more confident in his role, but on opening night, he finds himself so swept up in that long ago world, that when Mary and Joseph ask him, "Do you have any room at your inn?" he cannot turn them away, and comes up with an answer that causes chaos on stage. Fortunately, with the help of his big cousin, Miguel, Jesús' loving spirit shines brightly, making him the star of the show. A tale to remind us that the star of Bethlehem burns bright in every heart whenever we love a lot.
