Did you know that the wood which was used to construct the manger baby Jesus lay is housed by this Holy Crib at the Basilica of St. Mary Major Rome.

That was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome last year. There are so many holy relics and beautiful basilicas! We had to postpone our side trips to Loreto and Assisi - and we still didn't have enough time in Rome.

You better put guards around this beautiful relic. Some Moslem tourist (terrorist) might try to destroy it.
