The Shepherdess Gila

            Los Pastores 2011
Mission San José

Los Pastores tells the story of shepherds in the countryside being notified of the birth of Jesus and their pilgrimage to see and adore the Child. Along the way, they are tempted repeatedly by Lucifer and other minor devils in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their journey.  The play ends with the shepherds reaching the manger were the Babe lays in his cradle.  The audience is then invited to join the actors, including the devils (now out of costume), in offering homage to the Child.

At Mission San José, during the 1700's, the Franciscan Missionaries used plays such as this to teach the mission indians about Christianity.

It is in plays such as this, held in public places as well as humble backyards, that the true story of Christmas is preserved in the purest form, without the commercialization that so permiates our world today.
