DID YOU KNOW?
The answer
A baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger (Luke 2:12). The star and the magi appear only in Matthew, never in Luke.
Why it’s interesting
Our nativity scene is a merger: Luke gives the shepherds and manger, Matthew gives the star and the wise men. No single Gospel contains the whole crèche.
