Scripture
“And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” –
Luke 2:12
Quote
“As a child I had thought manger was a synonym for crib. I remembered my surprise at learning that a manger is a box made to hold food for animals, a feeding trough! The heavenly fare offered in the manger was not only eternal but capable of lifting us to God. How fitting that Mary should cradle her son, the Bread of Life, in a manger.” – Sherrie Johnson
