- The manger is like a “living Gospel” Pope Francis recalled that the representation of the birth of Jesus is “like a living Gospel rising up from the pages of sacred Scripture” to invite men to “set out on a spiritual journey, drawn by the humility of the God who became man in order to encounter every man and woman.”
- The origin of the symbol dates back to the time of Saint Francis. The Pontiff recalled that the history of Christmas cribs dates back to days after November 29, 1223, when Pope Honorius III approved the Rule of St. Francis of Assisi in Rome.
- The manger shows God’s tenderness. The Holy Father pointed out that the manger not only "helps us to relive the history of what took place in Bethlehem," but also "shows God’s tender love" who, being the Creator of the universe, “lowered himself to take up our littleness.”
- In the manger all of creation rejoices in the Feast of the coming of Jesus. In Admirabile signum, Pope Francis reflected upon the elements that make up the nativity scene that we have in our homes, such as the starry sky, the landscapes, the animals and the shepherds, which remember what the prophets had foretold, that: “all creation rejoices in the coming of the Messiah.”

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 3, 2024 · A “manger” in the Bible refers to a feeding trough for animals, often made of wood or stone, where Jesus was laid after His birth in Bethlehem, signifying His humble beginnings (Luke 2:7). It represents a place of simplicity and humility, highlighting the contrast between His divine nature and earthly circumstances.
Oct 27, 2022 · The King of Kings and the Lord of lords came humbly, and His first bed was a manger. Jesus, being born in a manger, highlights that there is no place that bars the way for the Lord. All of this reveals how accessible and available Jesus is to sinners.
Jan 14, 2024 · If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer: Most scholars believe Jesus was born in a cave that was used to shelter animals in Bethlehem. In this article, we will dive deeper into the details around Jesus’s birthplace and what the Bible tells us about the real site of the nativity manger scene.
Jan 1, 2014 · The miracle of the manger is that God became flesh and lived among us. He came not so He could send us to eternal punishment but to set us free. God became man so that we could become children of God.

Dec 14, 2017 · He Lay in the Manger without Leaving Heaven. The second member of the Trinity is, like the first and third, omnipresent. Wherever you go, he is there. In fact, more than that, the Bible says he sustains all things: he “upholds the universe by the word of his power” (Heb. 1:3), and “in him all things hold together” (Col. 1:15).
