divine child

Holy infant deity

A divine child is a god or godlike being in infant or youthful form—figures like the Christ child, baby Krishna, or the young Dionysus.

In Jungian psychology, the divine child is an archetype representing potential, renewal, and the emergence of the true self: The divine child appears in dreams during periods of transformation.

The term sometimes describes a person of extraordinary gifts or spiritual significance, often with ironic undertones when applied to someone treated as precious or destined for greatness.
