The adjacent upper room can serve the imagination as the room where Jesus sent John and Peter to prepare the last supper. The most important comparison one can make is the comparison between this house and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Mangers like the one in Bethlehem, exist to this day in Taybeh. Taybeh was settled by two large tribes which comprise the families of Taybeh. Many of these families built their houses on caves.
Every family has their own big house.
The same applies to Bethlehem which is where the house of David settled and may have built the inn, or 'Locanda,' on a cave. At the time of the census everyone came to Bethlehem. One viewpoint held is that Joseph and Mary were not necessarily rejected a place to stay, but were hard-pressed to find lodging because of overcrowding. On the contrary, we would run to help. In a house such as the inn where they tried to seek refuge, the most suitable and discreet place for a woman to give birth was down in the cave or manger, with the animals, helped by other women.
