World famous Infant Jesus of Prague
Known as the infant Jesus of Prague, the statue is located in the Church of our Lady Victorious and it has been a symbol of Christian Faith and Jesus teaching to millions of people around the world since its creation. The statue is over 400 years old, made in the 16th century and donated to the Carmelite Church in 1628. Worshipers from all over the world continue to visit the little Baby Jesus, during our visit the priest came out and in English asked the people present where they were from. They were from China, South America and Canada. He then invited them to follow him to the sacristy for further prayers.

Nice church!
The church of the Infant Jesus of Prague is a very interesting, very important church for Catholics. The Infant Jesus of Prague is venerated especially outside the Czech republic. It is very much venerated in Latin America. The church is not very much visited by locals. It is not crowded; in fact when I visited the church, I was alone. The church has a nice museum with many robes given by presidents and other important dignitaries, mainly from Latin America. The church is easy to find. It is in Mala Estrana and walking distance from other sites of interest. There is no entrance fee.
