Are mangers, necessarily, the best place to birth a messiah or other important religious figure?

Mangers are contaminated with animal feces. No decent Jewish mother would keep her child in one.

The scripture writer was foreshadowing the institution of the Eucharist. Jesus is food.

So long as the straw is clean, sure.
