Devotion to the Child Jesus is a long-standing tradition in the Catholic faith.
The original statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague was created as a royal wedding gift to Princess Polyxenia of Lobkowitz. After the death of her husband, the princess devoted herself to works of charity and was particularly helpful to the Carmelites in Prague, to whom she later gifted the statue of the Christ Child.
This plaster statue of the Infant of Prague, with his red plaster crown, is 12 inches tall and was imported from Italy.
The left hand of the Infant encircles a miniature globe, surmounted by a cross, which signifies the world-wide kingship of Christ, while the right hand is extended in blessing.
