A fragment of wood believed to be from Jesus' manger is back in the Holy Land just in time forThe tiny inches long relic was first taken out of the Middle East in the 7th century when St. Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, donated it to Pope Theodore I. It remained in Rome's Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore until now.
"Since it's here my heart is jumping all the time with joy, that God became a man humble enough to sleep in a manger," added Boterberg. Fr. Patton said the entire crib was considered too fragile to move. Nonetheless, he says the small wooden relic is an important symbol that will now be permanently enshrined inside St. Catherine's Church, adjacent to the Church of the Nativity in Manger Square in Bethlehem
