Mega Wooden Manger with Straw + Baby Jesus

Perfect for the Advent “Straw for Baby Jesus” devotion, or for use as Advent decor, this CAY exclusive custom-designed set will help make Advent beautiful and meaningful in your home. The idea behind “Straw for Baby Jesus” is for kids to learn in action about Jesus’ words in the parable: “as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me”. Their sacrifices and good works during Advent, done for parents or friends or siblings, can help to create a soft, comfy bed for the baby Jesus when he is born on Christmas.
