TradCatKnight: Videos- The Infant of Prague
Its earliest history can be traced back to Prague in the year 1628 when the small, 19-inch high, wooden and coated wax statue of the Infant Jesus was given by Princess Polyxena von Lobkowicz (1566–1642) to the Discalced Carmelites, to whom she had become greatly attached. The princess had received the statue as a wedding gift (1603) from her mother, Maria Maximiliana Manrique de Lara y Mendoza, wife of Vratislav of Pernstyn, Chancellor of the Czech Kingdom (1530-1582), who also had received the statue as a wedding gift (1555) and who had brought It from her homeland of Spain to Lobkowicz Palace in Bohemia. An old legend in the Lobkowicz family insists that Doña María had been given the statue by Saint Teresa of Avila herself
