The National Shrine of the Infant Jesus of Prague donated a replica of the Infant Jesus to Prague Hopital, Wednesday, September 10th.

He arrived almost sixty years ago in Prague, OK from Prague, Czech Republic.  The history of the devotion to the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague dates back more than four hundred years when the statue of The Holy Infant in the guise of a king was brought to Prague, Czech Republic. It was a precious souvenir of Maria Manriquez de Lara, a Spanish princess who married Vratislav Pernstyn, a Czech nobleman, in 1556. Because of the many miracles that occurred when people prayed to the Infant Jesus, a great devotion arose and has spread throughout the world. Statues of the Infant Jesus of Prague are found in churches and homes everywhere.
