Ahh...Look! It's the Christmas scene. Jesus in a Stable, laying in a Manger!
Well, maybe half-right......
A Barn? A Cave? The bible does not mention any of these three places in connection with Christ's birth, only a Manger.
Scripture simply reports that they laid Jesus in a Manger because there was no room for Him in the "guest room"--say what?, what happened to the Inn? Well the greek word used in scripture is "Kataluma", and that can be translated guest chamber, lodging place, or Inn. But when we look at the only other time this word is used in the New Testament, it means a furnished, large, upper story room within a private house. It is translated "Guest Chamber" ...Not, Inn. Mark 14:14-15.
According to the Bible archaeology experts, Jesus was probably born in the house of relatives, but outside [Under] the normal living and guest quarters.
