The Child Jesus (Divine Infant Baby Jesus Infant Jesus Christ Child) refers to Jesus from his Nativity to age 12. At 13 he was considered to be adult in accordance with the Jewish custom of his time. The canonical gospels say nothing of Jesus’ childhood between his infancy and the Finding in the Temple at the age of twelve.From about the third or fourth century onwards the child Jesus is frequently shown in paintings and sculpture.
