What is manger how it is connected to Jesus?
The infant Jesus was laid in a manger and was seen there by
shepherds, to whom the angelic announcement of his birth was made.
(Lu 2:7, 12, 16) The Greek word for "manger" in this case is
phat′ne, meaning "feeding place." Phat′ne may also possibly apply
to the stall in which animals are kept.
