Infant Jesus of Prague

The Infant Jesus of Prague or Child Jesus of Prague (Czech: Pražské Jezulátko; Catalan: Nen Jesús de Praga: Spanish: Niño Jesús de Praga) is a 16th-century Roman Catholicwax-coated wooden statue of child Jesus holding a globus cruciger, located in the Discalced Carmelite Church of Our Lady Victorious in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic. Pious legends claim that the statue once belonged to Saint Teresa of Ávila. In 1628 it was donated to the Carmelite friars by Princess Polyxena of Lobkowicz.

The image is routinely clothed by the Carmelite nuns in luxurious fabrics with imperial regalia and a golden crown while his left hand holds a globus cruciger and the right hand raised in a benedicting posture.It is venerated during the Christmas season and the first Sunday of May commemorating its coronation and public procession.
