When Jesus Christ was four years old, The angels brought Him toys of gold, Which no man ever had bought or sold.
And yet with these He would not play. He made Him small fowl out of clay, And blessed them till they flew away.
Tu creasti, Domine. Jesus Christ, Thou child so wise, Bless mine hands and fill mine eyes, And bring my soul to Paradise.
There's nothing odd, strange, or unusual about the Infancy Gospel of Jesus, also commonly known as the Gospel of Thomas. I have both modern and antique reprints of it. It, along with many other works, was read and circulated within the early Church. But it was not canonized. Similar to the Shepherd of Hermes and the Didache, just because it was not canonized does not mean it is of no value.More
