More about this special night

Wow! God was born in a stable and His name is Jesus! A stable was different back then—it wasn’t really a “barn” like you see on farms today. Many times it was nothing but a cave in the mountainside where the animals would be safe, dry and warm.

That manger doesn’t look too comfortable, does it? A manger was really a trough, often made out of stone. The animals would eat or drink out of these mangers or troughs. This is where Mary laid her new, sweet baby.

This must have been a beautiful, special night!
