The Infant of Prague is a famous statue of the Infant Jesus located in Mal� Strana, Prague. The exact origins of the statue are unknown, however, the statue was presented to the Discalced Carmelites at the Church of the Virgin Mary the Victorious in 1628.

During the 30 years war, the priory was plundered and the statue discarded. Finally, in 1638 a young priest named Cyrillus a Matre Dei found the statue in the ruins of the church, cleaned it and placed it in the oratory. Father Cyrillus did not have the money or funds to repair the statue so he prayed for help. He heard the Infant Jesus say, "Have pity on Me and I will have pity on you. Give Me My hands and I will give you peace. The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you". Within a few days the statue was repaired.

While Prague has suffered wars and unrest, the statue has been miraculously protected. Many miracles have been associated with the statue. Since then, devotion has spread throughout Europe, the Philippines and the Americas.
