Christmas, The Real Story: The Manger

The real story of Christmas as you’ve probably never heard it. Those weren’t ordinary shepherds the angel spoke to, and that was no ordinary manger, but it was THE manger that became a crib for the Lamb of God. Also how Mary ended up there.

God bless, and Merry Christmas
