The Manger Tree

“And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.” — Luke 2:7 (LSB)
In the quiet of Bethlehem, the King of Kings entered the world in the humblest of ways.
No palace. No throne. No trumpet blast.
Just a manger — rough wood, coarse hay, and the smell of animals.
This tree remembers the moment when heaven came to earth, when divinity wrapped itself in simplicity,
and the infinite became an infant. Here, the glory of God is revealed not in grandeur but in grace.
The Manger Tree whispers the truth of the incarnation —
that God’s way of saving the world is upside down, and His greatest work began in a place no one expected.
