In vintage art, the child Jesus is often depicted wearing a pink robe because, historically, pink was not strictly associated with girls as it is today. Artists used pink as a color signifying joy, innocence, and even royalty, making it a fitting choice for portraying the infant Jesus, especially in the context of his divine nature and the celebration of his birth.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux wrote about her arrival at the Carmel of Lisieux, recalling, "The first thing I saw under the cloister was 'my little pink Jesus' smiling at me amidst the flowers and lights." She referred to it as "my" because she was responsible for cleaning the statue and arranging flowers around it. See less
