Granted that His Most Holy Mother and Good St. Joseph welcomed Him with open arms and open hearts, the Gospel is clear that He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Though He was and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, there was no palace opened up for Him by His subjects. In fact, there was not even a room for Him at a simple inn. No…He was so unwelcome that only a cold, dark, and damp cave…a stable for beasts was offered to Him. The coldness of the cave symbolized the coldness of men’s hearts. There would be no crib for a bed to welcome this Newborn, but rather a manger…a feed box meant for domesticated beasts. Though He was the longed for Messiah that had been prophesied about for millennia, when He actually did come, the inhabitants of Jerusalem were troubled at the reports of His arrival. And that stable…that cave and manger was anything but a safe space. The evil King Herod would send soldiers to assassinate the New Born King, forcing Him to flee to Egypt, for He was not welcome amongst God’s People. The people of the Holy Land were known for their hospitality and welcoming attitude, and yet they excluded their own Messiah. Neither the pagan nations nor the Jews provided any red carpet for the entrance of the King.
