Baby Jesus is a great term

Little baby Jesus is my favourite of all Jesus's.

It's the price of them, what was he doing in there before Sunday? Sure everyone knows the cradle should be empty til then. Maybe it'll be returned Saturday night

Don't these things usually return after 3 days, singing a Stone Roses song?

"Baby Jesus found in Waterford"

What would anyone learning English think when reading the headline ?
some sort of Catholic whiskey brand maybe ?Or else a miracle.

Baby Jesus is slang. It is not actually the baby Jesus, Jesus
Very sloppy work by the Irish Times. Maybe that is what kids call the thing but if a dog went missing would they have a headline that said "Bow wow absent"

The most ridiculous thing about this story is that it is a story. Ffs, I lost a jacket in the pub a few weeks ago - I'm sorry I didn't let the media know.
