About

Nestled in Prague’s historic Malá Strana, the Church of Our Lady Victorious houses the renowned Prague Infant Jesus—a 47‑centimetre wooden icon crafted in 16th‑century Spain. This modest sculpture has become the spiritual heart of Prague’s Catholic tradition, drawing pilgrims, families, and history lovers worldwide. The church’s baroque interior, adorned with works by master artists of the 17th and 18th centuries, offers free admission daily from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm (Monday‑Saturday) and until 8:00 pm on Sundays. Daily masses—Czech, English, Spanish, and Italian—are held throughout the week, complemented by a dedicated museum showcasing historic robes and artifacts. The annual coronation ceremony, celebrated each first Sunday of May, is a highlight of Prague’s pilgrimage calendar and a must‑see event for spiritual seekers and cultural tourists alike.
