Although many statues of Infant Jesus are found throughout the world today, the earliest origin of Infant Jesus can be traced to Prague. However, worship to the Infant Jesus of Prague suffered greatly during the war years in Prague.
While devotion to Infant Jesus was flourishing throughout Italy, there was no sign of its existence in Prague.
The Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Berlin wall proved to be the fall of the Communist era in the Czech Republic. The downfall of the communist regime gave people the freedom to the right of worship. Devotion and worship to the Infant Jesus of Prague were once again restored in the Czech Republic.
