Unique Infant Jesus of Prague in Wood Case

Collectibles : Religious : Roman Catholic, Statues

 

This is a unique family estate religious item, it is a 3 1/2" bisque Infant Jesus of Prague statue in a 5" bullet shaped wood case with two small dots as opening knobs at the front. When opened is like an altar where the statue stays standing. This Roman Catholic Infant Jesus is beautiful, the colors and the detail of the face are so nicely executed that he looks very real! On the bottom of the statue a label remains attached that reads; 'Japan' Both the case and the statue are in excellent condition!

The devotion to the Holy Child Jesus has long been a tradition of the Catholic Church for a very long time. This devotion is a veneration of our Lord's sacred Infancy. Many saints had a very strong devotion to the Divine Child, notably St. Therese of the Child Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Teresa of Avila.
