A large box or trough from which farm animals like horses and cows eat hay and grain.
From Old French 'mangier' meaning 'to eat,' derived from Latin 'mandere.' The word shifted from the action of eating to the container where animals eat.
The most famous manger in history is probably the one in Bethlehem where Jesus was born, which appears in nativity scenes worldwide and has inspired countless artworks for 2,000 years.
