Away in a manger, no crib for his head, The little LORD Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay. This is the first stanza of the song we know as “Away in a Manger.”

Yes, we may be sure that Joseph and Mary cleaned it up as best they could. They, no doubt, padded it in some way to make a comfy little bed. But there is no way to romanticize this bed into anything other than a feeding trough for slobbering animals. The first bed for the Son of God was not a royal cradle. It was a common corn crib. It’s meant to h...
At first, you might think it was a fluke of fate — a random misfortune. Because Luke says Mary “laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7). But the way Luke tells the story, that won’t work. God had centuries to get ready for this birth. The prophet Micah lived seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus and ...
The angel of the Lord said something to the shepherds that was almost too good to be true. To believe this and bear witness, they would need a sign. The angel gave it: Swaddling cloths? Every baby in Bethlehem was wearing swaddling cloths. That is not the sign. The sign is the manger. In fact, this must have sounded so wildly scandalous, the shephe...
No sooner were the words out of the angel’s mouth — “you will find a baby . . . lying in a manger” — than the heavens exploded with praise: Glory to God! The Savior is in a feeding trough! Glory to God! The Messiah is in a feeding trough! Glory to God! The Lord is in a feeding trough! “Glory to God in the highest!” From the highest to the lowest! W...
The angel of the Lord came to shepherds, not Pharisees. With whom is the Lord pleased? That word “pleased” (Greek eudokia) occurs one other place in Luke: Not the wise. Not the understanding. But the children. The ones who would take no offense at a baby in a feeding trough. The ones that would expect no better bed than their Savior: Except for a m...
The Calvary road is downhill. Not because it gets easier, but because it gets lower. The Savior’s life starts low and ends lower. This is the point of Philippians 2:6–8: This is how the Savior saves. This is how the Messiah fulfills all the promises. This is how the Lord reigns: from infinite deity, to feeding trough, to final torments on the cross...
Aug 29, 2023 · One such tradition that holds a special place in many hearts is the setting up of a biblical manger scene, also known as a Nativity scene.

Dec 24, 2017 · Saint Francis of Assisi is credited with creating the first manger scene in Greccio in the year 1233. The world had grown indifferent to the coming of Christ and Saint Francis wanted to revive the reverence and sacredness that belongs to that holy night when Christ was born. This nativity scene was a live one and took place in a cave.
