Numerous artists depict in images of worship two boys, in representations of the life of Mary two figures of Mary, or a Madonna with two and three boys. The twelve-year-old Jesus in the temple is often accompanied by a second boy. Is there knowledge underlying these depictions that is largely hidden today? The fact of the birth and childhood of the two Jesus boys is one of the greatest revealed mysteries of human history. When Rudolf Steiner pointed this out in 1909, he was hardly noticed. Meanwhile, the Qumran texts and a more detailed study of apocryphal writings have shown that there was a dual Messiah expectation among the Jewish people. It is surprising that the concept of two Jesus boys has also been expressed in visual art. Hella Krause-Zimmer can demonstrate through numerous images that a specific perspective is manifesting here.
