Fearing for her family's wealth, Princess Miriam, a widow, entrusts her loyal steward, the slave Simonides with hiding their money. As the years pass and Roman oppression against the Jews increases, it is keenly felt in the princely household of Hur. The wise men and shepherds hail the baby as the king foretold in the prophesies. During the night, the wise men see a bright star in the heavens and are guided to the cave where Mary has given birth. When Joseph and Mary reach Bethlehem, they cannot find rooms and are forced to stay in a cave. Meanwhile, from the south, three wise men travel north on a holy quest. Because Rome has decreed that each man in the empire must be counted by returning to his birth place, Joseph of Nazareth and his wife Mary, who is about to give birth, try to reach Bethlehem by nightfall.
