Very interesting idea! I've always wondered why God introduced his son to the mob, (you can tell) and the father in "unsanitary conditions" in the mud (among livestock ..). Answer, Theosophists.

   Sister, here I can not agree. The fact is that by the standards of that time, Jesus was born in a middle-class family (not rich but not poor) wealth. In fact, most likely, Christ lived in a normal (for its time) family. They had a vineyard and a flock of sheep. By modern standards it may be, and not so hot, but in those days, quite decently. Parents Mary Anne and Joachim came from royal lineage (King David) and Joseph (the man with whom was betrothed Mary) was in the city of Nazareth carpentry. Virgin Mary also had relatives in another city (Iutt), and called them Zachary and Elizabeth, they also had a house.
     I think it not superfluous to mention that the Magi brought gifts to the Infant gold, frankincense and myrrh (not deshovy gift). It is also in the same room with the cattle was common even for rich people at that time. It was the usual and during the Middle Ages, and in much later times. In general, the notion of "rich" and "poor" in different historical times were filled with different content. Our ideas about wealth, as a rule, are formed from the description of the life of kings and nobles ancient times. But these people have always been not just a minimum, a tiny part of society. Ordinary people also lived a simple life, lived on subsistence farming and handicrafts. Ie as poor people now live (mostly in rural areas). Hence the confusion about the poverty of the family of Christ. They were not poor, as normal income.
