Did you know that the famous film "The Passion of the Christ" features a scene where a mysterious character appears holding a baby, while Jesus is physically punished?
The scene is somewhat spooky even though the mysterious character doesn't say a word, and the weird baby's appearance leaves much to think about.
But the scene has a meaning that few were able to understand: It turns out that Jesus Christ is being whipped and Satan appears with "a baby" to show Jesus that even "The Devil" cares for his son, while God allows him to be cruelly humiliated.
The one carrying the old Child is Lucifer and has an androgynous appearance, since angels have no gender.
