Jesus was not in the manger when the Magi came to see him.
He could have been as much as 3 years old by that time............
Yes. Between the manger and his appearance in the Temple at age 12, we have undated visits: first by the Magi, and then by the Holy Family to Egypt during Herod’s Massacre of the Innocents.

Correct, Jesus was a toddler. If Jesus was born on June 17, 2 BC and the Magi visited on Dec. 25, Jesus was six months old. We don’t know how many wise men from the East were present but three gifts suggest three Magi.
The paintings are absolutely wonderful. Many triangles are represented, either directly or indirect; the Trinity.
