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

It really 'is' the only dharma that makes any sense at all. All over the world people shed blood for the remission of sins. There had to be a 'once and for all' and Christ was 'it'.
"Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world."

@SweetMae John Birch, John Deere, John 3:16! ( I'm not being 100% serious. The Almighty transcends all that foolishness. I was just tossing that in there in a mildly self deprecating way.)
