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

Do you really believe all that BS ?

@Underconstruction yes, I've experienced God in so many ways, He's forgiven me and I experience His peace ,joy and love daily. A few years ago I was healed through prayer in the name of Jesus. I thank Him every day

@Underconstruction I believe that what is BS to some people is Light, Love and Salvation to another. We don't have to agree but we can respect one another.

@TheWildEcho Hmmmm,I find that so odd.
No medical intervention, no science ?
And isn't everything part of God's plan ( as you people say) your disease included, but yet you pray to change the outcome. That's kind of rude towards your imaginary god.

@Underconstruction if God was imaginary I wouldn't pray to him

@Underconstruction God gives us the option of praying for healing if that is our desire.. So therefore there is no disrespect towards God in praying for things God has given us permission to pray for..
