Virgin Mary

Mary, although her name is never mentioned in the entirety of the film, it is pretty obvious that she is the one who rides Small One with her husband, Joseph to Bethlehem in the end of Disney's 1978 animated Christmas short film, The Small One. Joseph's line "I need a gentle donkey to carry my wife to Bethlehem." says it all.

The Small One
She only appeared little in the film, because she first appeared in the very end of the film. She was first seen with Joseph walking with her and Small One carrying her to the manger where she was last seen in the film.
