Previously, concerning the Infant of Prague, here.
While in Prague, the Czech Republic, last week I snapped some pictures of the church that serves as the shrine to the famous Infant of Prague thinking that they might interest some of our readers. (Be sure to read the previous post concerning the history of the statue.) The Church that houses the Infant is the Church of Saint Mary Victorious which is down the street from the much larger St. Nicholas Church (shown in the last picture).

A large glass tabernacle encloses the image. A second floor museum displays the many robes that have been donated to the shrine. The robes on the statue are changed periodically.

Thank you for sharing these pictures. Beautiful!
Nice article. Reminds me of the story of the lady who was so devoted to the Infant of Prague that she wrote to the pope to ask why he was not canonized!!LOL
Raymond: What a hoot! I fell on the floor laughing! Thanks.
