As to Christ having “siblings”, these were either cousins or possibly other children from Joseph and a late wife. Please remember that Joseph was most likely 40-60 years older than Mary and was more her protector than a spouse in the modern sense.

Of course there is no evidence of that...It's nothing more than an Orthodox fable...

Christ physically lived on Earth at a specific time in history and within a specific culture. It wasn’t the 20th Century or Los Angeles. The bible needs to be read in context and then it’s beauty becomes much more evident.
