As I don't really know how to do anything other than just edit pages with words this will be quite boring to look at... The more i learn, the more magical this will become...
My name is Gareth Hiley, aka gazhiley, and I work for a bank in Swansea, South Wales. I mainly gravitate around the Featured Pictures pages, or the Miscilaneous and Entertainment Reference desk pages...
My Interests include Gaming (Consoles and PC), Music, football (watching and playing), and Driving. I am an iBore by admission!
I am a Swansea City fan, have been a season ticket holder for over 5 years now, and have attended more away games than I care to count!
Some time soon I also hope to start taking photographs to place in articles, and will post links to them here once I have worked out how to do it and own a camera good enough to make quality images!
The
Finding in the Temple, also called Christ among the Doctors, the Disputation in the Temple and variations of those names, is an episode in the early life of
Jesus depicted in
chapter 2 of the Gospel of Luke. It is the only event of the later childhood of Jesus mentioned in a
canonical gospel. In the episode, Jesus – at the age of twelve – accompanies
Mary,
Joseph, and a large group of their relatives and friends to
Jerusalem on many pilgrimages. On the day of their return, Jesus remained in
the Temple. Mary and Joseph returned home believing he was among their group when he was not. After a day of travel they realised Jesus was missing and returned to Jerusalem, finding him three days later. He was found in the Temple in discussion with the elders, "listening to them and asking them questions". When admonished by Mary, Jesus replied: "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" The Finding in the Temple is frequently shown in art. This representation, titled
The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple, is an
oil-on-canvas painting produced by
William Holman Hunt in 1860. It now hangs in the
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham, England.
