The lost years in the life of Jesus Christ, also called as
unknown years, silent years and missing years of Jesus, usually refers to the
time period between the childhood and the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, an
account of which is missing in the New Testament. During the medieval period,
it was believed that young Jesus spent his life between the ages 12 and 30 in
Britain, but in the 19th and 20th centuries it emerged
that he visited India during that period.
