''The First Miracle of the Infant Jesus'' is a monologue by Dario Fo, recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. It was originally published in Italian language as ''Il primo miracolo di Gesù Bambino'' in 1977, together with "The Tale of a Tiger" (della tigre ), "Dedalo e Icaro" (and Icarus ) and "Il sacrificio di Isacco" (Sacrifice ) in the collection ''Storia della tigre e altre storie'' (tale of a Tiger and other Stories'' ).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Storia di una tigre e altre storie )〕 The pre-Christmas 1987 performance of ''The First Miracle of the Infant Jesus'' on Italian television's variety-lottery show ''Fantastico'' led to further accusations of blasphemy from the Vatican; Fo portrayed the titular character deploying bolts of lightning to save other children from a bully.〔Mitchell 1999, p. 195〕 The story of the Baby Jesus is told from an unusual point of view. The young child finds that he has the power to do miracles. When the other children refuse to play with him, he takes clay, breathes on it, and turns it into birds that fly. He is also tempted to turn bullies into pillars of stone. Ed Emery has carried out an authorised English translation.〔Fo, Dario. ''The First Miracle of the Infant Jesus'', trans.
