Huh? Jesus was never a person in history. The Gospels just show his persona role-play as the second Adam for Joseph of whom this story is told. And so, for Joseph this infancy was real, and that is the deep structure theme to understand.
Baby Jesus is for children much like those 72 virgins are for Muslim boys.
