Word ‘Manger’
Has 2 Meanings
The Bible tells us that the newly-born Christ-child was “wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger,’’ a word derived from the French “mangeoir’’ or frame to hold animal feed.
It is interesting that the other common English word for a cattle-feeder, crib, which is derived from the German krippe, also means a baby’s bed.
Even the French word creche, which is often used to describe the nativity scene displayed in churches, homes, and other places at Christmastime, has the double meaning of “mangeoir’’ and a public shelter for the care of infants.
