- Why don't we have more stories from Christ's childhood?
- Because nothing interesting happened! He lived as an ordinary boy... He learned carpentry, He took care of His mother after Joseph departed, etc.
- We know that He was ordinary because when He started to manifest Himself, the people in Nazareth were surprised! He had never showed any indication of anything supernatural or divine!
- The exception is the story in Luke
3:21-222
- Luke 2c: HG Bishop Youssef
