Description
PRINT – INFANT OF PRAGUE – 16 X 12 Inches. Made in Italy.
By depicting Jesus as a child, the tradition of the Infant of Prague also emphasizes His humanity, and how we are children of God because of the salvation that He brings us. As Pope Benedict XVI said: The figure of the Child Jesus, the tender infant, brings home to us God’s closeness and his love.
The story behind the Infant Jesus of Prague starts in Spain. The legend states that the Infant Jesus appeared to a monk who made the statue based on his holy vision. Another version of the story revealed that St. Teresa of Jesus originally owned the statue and spread the word of the Veneration across Spain.
