Taking into consideration the differences between the physical and spiritual realms do you think consecrated bread and wine is th body and blood of Jesus? The manger is a feeding trough for animals. The name of Bethleham means "house of bread". Jesus in chapter 6 of John calls himself the "bread of life".
The Wedding Feast at Cana: changed substance
The Feeding of the Multitude: multiplied food
The Teaching on the Bread of Life: John 6:55
The Passover of our Lord
The Road to Emmaus: Luke 22:14-20
The whole Bible conveys salvation through eating the sacrificial lamb to reflect the ultimate and eternal sacrifice of Jesus Christ:
Abel offered a lamb to God and later John the Baptist said, “This is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.”
Abraham was going to faithfully offer his only son when an angel of God stopped him, he sacrificed a sheep God provided.
At Passover Moses had lambs sacrificed that had to be eaten with unleavened bread.

Then the Israelites ate Manna in the desert that they did not recognize and Moses told them “This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.”

Yes, the Manger signifies humility and poverty and Bethlehem or `House of Bread` is symbolic of Jesus Who is the Bread of Life`.

The manger replaced into a demonstration of humbleness, Our GOD and KING born in a stable in a manger?? it particularly is the biggest to transforming into a Christian: humility to settle for that each thing comes from GOD. Jesus is the actuality, the way and the existence! "hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One" (Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad)

The birth place of Jesus was foretold in prophesy. The manger shows the most humble of beginnings - God became man - the ultimate in humility.

Yes, lots of symbolism in the Bible. Those who only read superficially are missing most of the point.

Dear Beloved in Christ, why was Jesus put in the manger? Please read, " And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:7
Even if we do not give Jesus room in our hearts, He will be outside. Please click the link below to know more.

Food is a very basic need, and hence the symbol of life.
