The second one shows him as a toddler with his mother while she is putting the laundry on a line to dry. Like any mischievous boy, he may have been playing with something when this image was reproduced, but then again, he may have been praying or connecting with His Father, while His mother kept admiring Him and keeping everything in her heart.
This third image again takes us to Jesus imagining his last few days, holding so tightly a crown of thorns, and the nails by which he was nailed to the cross. He who was born a King, will be crowned, however with sharp nasty thorns that made him bleed, and this after an excruciating flogging, 39 lashes according to Roman law. Then he was crucified on a cross as a sacrificial lamb. Yet he endured the suffering and never complained. Behold the Lamb of God, Ecce Agnus Dei.
