Not at all, you are hinting that the story has roots in real events and real people when the truth is it has nothing of the sort.
Jesus never existed and the parents Mary and Joseph didn't either.
The reason it's so easy to dismiss the existence of Mary and Joseph is that the circumstances for the story never happened.
Apart from a virgin obviously not giving birth, and even if she did as described, it would have been rape, as there was no consent. But more than that there was no census at the time, and even if there was, the Romans did not require for families to go to their place of birth for a census, which is obviously moronic. The whole thing is an obvious fabrication!
Everything supernatural in the Bible is pure fantasy, and there is zero evidence that Jesus ever existed, and zero evidence that Virgin Mary or the wise men did either.
To fulfill a prophecy, the easiest way to do it, is to place it in a relatively distant land from where the story is told (for the time), and claim it already happened in the past, and unfortunately the evidence is already gone.
There are no first hand descriptions of any event that includes Jesus or the Virgin Mary, and there is no physical evidence either.
The conclusion should be that there is no reason to believe any of it more than believing Harry Potter is real.

I prefer quality over quantity. The biggest, tallest, heaviest… give a guy a concrete truck, and the sky is the limit!

This is so sad IMO, a symbol of superstition and bigotry.

Let’s build some useless statue in the middle of nowhere. What did I expect from millionaire pope anyway, useful infrastructure?

Christians: is that a future prophecy for a virgin birth?
