Flat-Pack Manger…

A piece of wood that was part of the manger that the baby Jesus slept in has retruned to Jerusalem, just in time for Christmas. Now that’s a sign of either divine intervention or just good Black Friday shopping.

I can see some of the devout eyes popping out as they read this heretic post, but let me assure yea brethren that I am now in the process of searching my garage for any other constituent parts.

So far, I have found a yellow kids’ bike which could possibly have been used by the Jesu to get to Bible class. A petrol-driven lawn-mower that possibly was useful in the Garden of Getsemani. A number of family tents with associated camping gear…?

I do remember that we had a headboard for a child’s bed in there, but that has probably been sold on eBay, broken down by the buyer and subsequently returned to Jerusalem, just in time for Christmas.
