My screaming daughters weren't in pain, but they were using their lungs for the first time and therefore crying.

Granted, I interpret the infant Jesus' cry as a cry of discomfort in the film.

But I am curious as to how you "know" that your daughters were not crying in discomfort themselves. The doctors didn't spank them to force them to breathe through their lungs? Have they remembered their births, and told you they were not in pain? Call me a Freudian if you like, but the experience of being violently expelled from the womb is usually presumed to be "traumatic" for the infant.

No need to reply. I ask these things rhetorically.

My daughter Mary was born smiling:)The doctor hated to slap her bottom but he did so she would cry .I saw her smile it was nice.

Did Baby Jesus not feel pain? Did He never cry?

Did the Child Jesus not feel pain? Did He never cry?

We know that adult Jesus felt pain, we know He cried. The shortest verse of the Bible is "and Jesus wept."

What changed?
