Several surviving infancy gospels give an idea of the miracle literature that was created in the early Christian church to satisfy the hunger of early Christians for more detail about the early life of their Savior. In Greek an infancy gospel was termed a protevangelion, a 'pre-Gospel' narrating events of Jesus' life before those recorded in the four canonical gospels.
None of the miraculous Infancy gospels were accepted into the Biblical canon, but the very number of their surviving manuscripts attest to their continued popularity.
