A manger is a trough in which hay or animal feed is placed from which farm animals can feed. In Luke's gospel when Jesus was born he was laid in a manger because there was no room in the inn. This led people to believe that he was born in a stable, but there is no concrete proof for this. Stables as such did not exist in those days - animals were usually kept in caves near ouses - or in areas within the house. Therefore Jesus was born in a cave - or in a corner of a room - where animals were kept and laid in a manger in warm hay, because the guest rooms in the inn where Mary and Joseph were staying (on their visit to Bethlehem for a census) were all full up.
