Images Baby Jesus Biography
"Jesus Christ" is Jesus of Nazareth, a rabbi and preacher whom is the central figure of Christianity.
What we know of him comes from the four Gospels of The New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Biblical scholars agree that the earliest of the Gospels, Mark, was begun after 70 A.D., about 40 years after Jesus's death. Despite the tremendous fame The Gospels tell us that he earned, no contemporary accounts of Jesus exist. Philo (c25 B.C- 47 A.D), Pliny the Elder (23 B.C - 79 A.D), and Seneca (4 B.C.- 65 A.D) do not mention Jesus. Luke admits that he is merely an interpreter of the events he writes of and not an eyewitness (Luke 1:1-4). What non-Christian sources we have come from men who were born decades after his death (Josephus Flavius, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger). To further confuse matters, what we find in Matthew regarding Jesus's birth is not found in Luke, and vice versa.
Followers hold that: 1) Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of The Christ or Messiah who would come from the tribe of Judah through King David; and 2) Jesus was born of his mother, Mary, not by her husband, Joseph, but by The Holy Spirit. Virgin birth is common in folklore, central to the myths of Ra, Krishna, Quetzalcoatl, Karna, Perseus, Mnos, Dionysus, and Hercules. Amenkept, Zoroaster, Siddhrtha Gautama, Alexander the Great, Constantine, and Nero also claimed to be of virgin birth as a way to claim superiority over all others. Yet, Jesus could not claim to be of David he had been fathered by The Holy Spirit. Futhermore, 2nd Kings, 2nd Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah indicate that all of David's descendants were killed at the time of the return from the exile, thus, there were no princes left to continue the royal line.
Sweet Baby Jesus, now known as Sweet Baby, began in 1986 at the behest of Dr. Frank who needed to organize some entertainment for his then-girlfriend's eviction party. He even offered to play drums if his college pals Dallas and Matt would perform for the partygoers before his band The Mr. T Experience played an acoustic set. Not once since their chance meeting in high school had Dallas and Matt shirked an unusual challenge. So they did it: songs were written; their friend "Crispy" Jim was recruited to play bass; with Dr. Frank on the snare drum, Sweet Baby Jesus had begun! And incredibly, it continued! Taking no heed of the hessians screaming "You suck!" during their first show, Dallas and Matt proceeded to churn out amazing music that would later define a well-known genre called "pop punk." With an eventual name-change to SWEET BABY, the band was joined at one time or another by past and future members of Samiam, Crimpshrine, The Wynona Riders and Soup. Many people look to Sweet Baby as the band that should have been on everyone's turntable, but fell victim to the tragedy that major labels can cause when your A&R dude gets a better job. Ah, well.
A Christmas letter that Pope Benedict XVI wrote to Baby Jesus when he was seven years-old demonstrates his devotion to the Sacred Heart and his desire to be a priest.
The letter is on display this Advent in the village of Marktl am Inn in Bavaria, where he was born.
"Dear Baby Jesus, quickly come down to earth. You will bring joy to children. Also bring me joy," he wrote in the 1934 letter, published on the Church-affiliated Italian website Korazym.org.
"I would like a Volks-Schott (a Mass prayers book), green clothing for Mass (clerical clothing) and a heart of Jesus. I will always be good. Greetings from Joseph Ratzinger," he wrote in German cursive hard writing called Sütterlinschrift.
The letter, found during the renovation of a house that Joseph Ratzinger's occupied when he was a professor in Regensburg, was published on Dec. 18. The message was discovered in the estate of his sister Mary, who kept the letter after the Pope's house was converted into a small museum dedicated to him.
In Korazym’s view, the “letter was uncommon for a seven-year-old since he did not ask for toys or sweets, which were always in front of the Ratzinger family's nativity for his three brothers."
The first thing the Pope wanted was a Schott, one of the first prayer books with the missal in German and a parallel text in Latin. At the time there were two editions in the country, one for adults and one for children.
But little Joseph also asked
The Pope and his brothers used to play the "game of the priest," and their mother, a seamstress, would help them by making clothes similar to those worn by priests, according to an "Inside the Vatican" interview his brother, Monsignor Georg Ratzinger, gave a few years ago.
He also asked for a heart of Jesus, referring to an image of the Sacred Heart, which his family was very devoted to.
His brother noted that "each year the Nativity would have an extra miniature statue, which was a great joy … We would go with dad into the woods to gather moss and twigs of fir."
In his biography, Pope Benedict the XVI wrote that the volumes he received were "something precious and I could not dream them to have been more beautiful."
Along with his letter is another one by then 10-year-old Georg, who wanted sheet music for a song and a white chasuble, the outer vestment worn by priests when they celebrate Mass.
A third letter by "Mary," a 13-year-old who wanted a book full of drawings, was also discovered.
According to Korazym, "the letters were all on one sheet because the Ratzinger family was not rich."
Pope Benedict and his family lived in Aschau am Inn, a small town west of Munich, from 1932 to 1937.
"The Pope was very glad to find the letter and its contents made him smile," said his secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, when he inaugurated the small museum at the end of summer.
