Vatican nativity does away with the manger

I think I'm speechless, this is Pope approved.
I find it foreign to think that Jesus lived next door to a bar. My mind just refuses to wrap around that concept.



Jesus will lie in Joseph's shop, complete with "the typical work tools of a carpenter".

On one side, the shop will be flanked with a "covered patio", while on the other there will be the "inside of a pub, with its hearth".

The news came in an official statement from the State Department of the Vatican, which organises and builds the giant presepe, or Nativity scene.
