That was Jesus' baby all along. If you don't believe me we'll have to cut it in half to see who the real mother is. Jesus, the son of God, or this random sinner, a woman.
Personally my money is on the literal son of God being the mother.
I dunno - in most religious art a baby in a holy context is Jesus.
Maybe he's holding his younger self in some sort of time traveler paradox? And using the power of France to protect his younger self from women as an archetype?
Like "No, stay away from this baby me, all womens. By the power of baguettes I compel thee."
"Je n'ai jamais été pécheur, je n'ai jamais péché, j'ai un ami en Jésus. Alors tu sais que quand je mourrai, il m'installera avec l'esprit dans le ciel"
There is an expression that I read about that is a German expression that means when life is easy and good.
The book said translated it roughly means "Like God in France" because zee Germans think The French having access to France is preposterously a sign of the Germans not being loved and the God of the French was much nicer and softer just look that them: they get to live in France!
