If you worship Christ why do you so often keep Him pictured as a small child or baby in the arms of a full grown Mary with a halo around her head.

Because he was a baby in the arms of a full grown Mary at one point in time. Because the Incarnation is utterly real, utterly a fact of history, over and against all of those heretics who would like to deny it.

Do you have a picture of your wife in your wallet as a baby? If you were to almost always bring out a picture of your wife in the arms of her mother as a baby what would that say about how you perceived your wife. It would be incredibly odd and also it would not be respectful.

Now if occasionally, maybe on her birthday or something, you brought out the family album and showed pictures from when she was a baby that would be different. To constantly show Christ as a baby is an affront to Him as a full grown man.
