Why there are no records of Jesus youth before he became miracle worker? Was this intentionally hidden by the Christian Church?

There may have been many more Magi than three visiting Jesus. Yes, he was an older child when they visited. Remember that Herod gave orders to kill all boys 2 years old and under. If Jesus was just a baby it would not have been necessary to kill all these older boys.
There's no telling how many actually went on this journey to see the prophesied king and, on top of that, they would have traveled with many others such as soldiers, servants, etc.

Actually... the Bible doesn't say there were three kings... It says that wise men from the east ... but it never tells us exacly how many... there were three gifts presented the the child (not the baby) Jesus... Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. In all likelihood, there were at least several dozen of these wise men (because travelling great distances was perilous in that time).
There are a few records of Jesus before his ministry began... after his birth we have the visit of the Magi... here he was a child... not a baby as tradition tells us... they visited him at a house, not in the manger (Yeah, I bet I get a lot of angry mail on that one). We also have an glimpse of him as a child in the temple at jerusalem... where he impressed the elders with his knowledge of the scriptures.
So... no these things were not intentionally hidden... they were not hidden at all... you just have to know where to look.

There are some books that were kept out of the bible. Some of them were about Jesus as a child,and even more ridiculous than the stories that are kept in the bible. Things about him flying in the air and stuff. I asked the question about 5 days ago about missing books i had heard about,and wanted to investigate. If you look in my profile the question is there and some people gave me links to sites where you can read the lost books. You will be able to check em out if you want.

No.They were Magi,that is,members of the Persian priestly caste;the word Magi came to be used of those regarded as having more than human knowledge.Thery are astrologers.

No three wisemen. No no one knows Jesus' childhood.
