Then the angel said to
her, “Do not be afraid,
Mary, for you have
found favor with God.
Behold, you will con-
ceive in your womb and
bear a son, and you shall
name him Jesus. He
will be great and will be
called Son of the Most
High, and the Lord God
will give him the throne
of David his father.”
— Lk 1:30-32

Blessing of a Christmas Manger In its present form, the custom of displaying figures depicting the birth
of Jesus Christ owes its origin to St. Francis of Assisi, who made the
Christmas crèche or manger for Christmas Eve of 1223. The blessing
of the Christmas manger or nativity scene may take place on the Vigil
of Christmas or an another suitable time. When the manger is set up in
the home, it is appropriate that it be blessed by a parent or another
family member.
All make the sign of the cross as the leader says:
Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R/. Who made heaven and earth.
One of those present or the leader reads a text of sacred Scripture:
Luke 2:1-8 (or Isaiah 7:10-15)
Reader: The Gospel of the Lord.
R/. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
The Leader prays with hands joined:
God of every nation and people, from the very beginning of creation
you have made manifest your love: when our need for a Savior was
great you sent your Son to be born of the Virgin Mary.
To our lives he bring joy and peace, justice, mercy, and love.
Lord, bless all who look upon this manger; may it remind us of the
humble birth of Jesus, and raise our thoughts to him, who is God-with-
us and Savior of all, and who lives and reigns forever and ever.
R/. Amen. Prayer taken from the Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers, Revised Edition (Washington, DC: USCCB, 2007), 82-84,
