    Does any church reliquary claim to have any part of the manger or cattle-shed from Christ's Nativity?

    Question #42131. Asked by gmackematix. (Dec 09 03 1:40 AM)

    		There is some doubt about the validity of the location of the navity as some say that Jesus was born in a cave and that the version we know of today is a modernisation of the actual events

    		Yes, relics of the manger may be seen in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Also in Our Lady of the Praries, Saskatoon; in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, in University of Notre Dame, Indiana; in the private collection of Thomas Serafin of Glendale, CA; and in the Schatzkammer of the Hofburg in Vienna. Knowing how relics tend to multiply, there are probably more.
    The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem encloses a cave rather than a shed or structure.

    There is also a stone manger in the grotto in the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem.
