Away in a Manger ...

Sometimes you never know what your'e going to find in the Vatican's attic ...

Seems they still have pieces (or what they think are pieces) of the crib used by the baby Jesus some 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. They're kept in Rome, at the basilica of St. Mary Major, and apparently they're in such bad shape that they were kept under lock and key for this year's Christmas services.
