The central issue here is that over the years, Jesus, Mary (His mother) and the rest of the characters in the story have gone from the humble beings they were to these idols of worship. These were very poor people. They didn't wear perfect, clean and glowing colorful robes. The wore clothes from the lowest part of society. All of that window dressing was added after the fact.
For example, Mary being a Virgin and the immaculate conception is a concept that is only a few hundred years old!
