Mary And Baby Jesus Biography
In the middle of the classic Christmas hymn ‘Away in a Manger’, there is this one line that doesn’t quite ring true. The second stanza tells us, “The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes / But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes”. Did baby Jesus really not cry? The hymn author was likely thinking that Jesus did not cry because he was perfect and divine. But does a crying baby Jesus detract from his divinity? I think not, but a non-crying baby Jesus detracts from his humanity.
I see no inherent conflict between Jesus being God and Jesus crying as a baby. Crying is not necessarily sinful. If a child cries when it is hungry, tired, or just plain uncomfortable, is that wrong? No, that is just the way that God made us. However, there is also selfish, sinful crying, which does manifest itself from infanthood because we are sinful from birth (Ps 51:5; Eph. 2:3).
Now Jesus never sinned, so he never cried in a sinful way. So that means that four-year-old Jesus never collapsed in a heap of whingeing and crying because he didn’t get his way, like my four-year-old does sometimes. But if toddler Jesus was running around Mary and Joseph’s home and tripped, and bonked his head on the corner of a table, did he cry? I’m sure he did. And after the shepherds went home and Mary and Joseph tried to get some sleep, did newborn Jesus wake multiple times during the night and cry to be fed? I’m sure he did.
A crying baby Jesus is a human baby Jesus. If Jesus was anything less than 100% human, then he would have been disqualified from dying on the cross to redeem us from God’s wrath against our sin. Why is that? Because just as Adam represented the whole human race in the Garden of Eden and led us all into death, Jesus Christ (the Second Adam: Rom 5:12-21; 1 Cor 15:45) represented all those who would trust in him, leading us into eternal life. He had to be human in order to be humanity’s representative before the Father at the cross. Jesus’ divinity kept him free from sin, which would have disqualified him from being the perfect sacrifice that God required, and Jesus’ humanity made him truly able to stand in for those of us whose feet are made of clay.
Let us rejoice in the birth of Jesus as a little child but remember that he was a crying baby. It is a crying baby Jesus that we need. Anything less and he would not be the Saviour.
When did Virgin Mary live? - The gospel texts provide no information about when Mary was born or when she died. If, however, Jesus was born in 4 BCE and was her first child, then Mary was likely born no earlier than 20 BCE.
Where did Mother Mary live? – The gospel texts describe Jesus’ family as living in Galilee. Luke, Matthew, and John, though, describe her origins as being in Bethlehem, which is in Judea.
What did Mary Mother of Jesus do? – She was a sacred woman who did all the duties of a housewife as the ideal wife of Joseph, Jesus’s father. She had complete faith in God and submitted all of herself to God completely in His service. She have helped her child Jesus grow in Gods love.
Our Lady Rosary is the best prayer loved by all the people around the world, and that includes Pope John Paul II also. Mary’s part in shaping Jesus life cant be neglected and Mary is the mother of all nations as she enjoys that glorious position given to her. Mother Mary’s command over Satan or devil or lucifer is huge. We also call her mama Mary.
When we are about to die,  devil comes to our side and makes us remember all the bad things and sins we done in our whole life. He will do it with such enthusiasm that we will even fear to look at God or go to heaven after death. But it is for this reason that we say Hail Mary prayer which has the following lines too (in red).
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
See Hail Mary in Pictures too.
Mother Mary with angels will come to our side then and help us resist the temptation Satan and his devil army will cause us at the death time. O Mary, Mother of God, Please be at my side when I am about to leave this earth. Amen.
NB : More and more Jesus and Mary pictures will be added very soon. Keep checking back. We will be adding more images of mary with baby Jesus Christ.

A Christmas card PSA from your friendly neighborhood grammar/punctuation freak:
When signing your Christmas card/letter (or return address labels), do not sign them like so:
Merry Christmas from the Wahlund's!
If your intention is to send Christmas greetings on behalf of your entire family, then you want your last name to be plural, not possessive. For example:
Merry Christmas from the Wahlunds! means there is more than one Wahlund wishing you a Merry Christmas. In fact, the entire Wahlund family wishes you a Merry Christmas!
The possessive form, on the other hand, indicates that something belonging to the Wahlund family is wishing you a Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas from the Wahlund's... what? The Wahlund's cat? The Wahlund's dog? The Wahlund's thermonuclear bomb facility?
If your last name ends with an 's' or 'z', then your best bet is to use a workaround such as, "Merry Christmas from the Glass family!" Or you could add an -es. But for the love of all that is holy and innocent, do not use an apostrophe to create a plural form of a surname. Please.
