No Room In The Inn? Born In A Manger?


It has become a popular cultural tradition around Christmas time to hear that Christ was born in a manger because there was no room in the inn. However the New Testament mentions neither a manger as we understand it nor an inn when describing the Christmas story. For more details on this topic and possible alternative explanations, I recommend the following articles:
