Was the manger made of stone? [Spirituality & Religion]

We think of the manger being wooden, but in the Holy Land they are often made of stone. Just imagine if this was the case and Jesus was laid in strips of cloth on stone. An amazing picture of 33 or so years later when His body was lying in the stone tomb wearing grave clothes, just before the ressurection.
Christmas and Easter are SO closely linked. It's good to remember at Christmas that He came as a sacrifice to die for us

That isn't the manger he lay in at the nativity scene.

@NankerPhelge well it would be too heavy

@TheWildEcho Not only that, but as you may have noticed it's never made of stone when people enact the nativity scene in plays.

@NankerPhelge I was the inn keeper
@TheWildEcho I was Mary. It was wonderful to imagine, while kneeling there. It felt blessed and I could feel the Holy Spirit.
