We went to mass today at midday as it was in english. It's a beautiful church with the statue of the Infant Jesus and a small museum. Be aware of tourists taking photos,dropping off flowers and moving around during mass. You need to make you way to Andel underground station (think it's the B line) then catch the 12 or... More

When I was a baby, my aunt gave me an Infant of Prague statue, which I still have, so seeing the original figure was a must for me and actually was very moving. The church itself was a surprise, very plain on the outside and very ornate on the inside. The little museum upstairs with outfits sent over the years... More

Impressive church, grounds behind it are Vrtba Garden, famous for the wax statue of baby Jesus. Holds a service in English around noontime on Sundays.

Upstairs is a small museum showing the various outfits sent from around the world for the Infant of Prague. This is a pilgrimage location for many religious people. There is a photo of Pope Benedict when he visited here. Bought a few rosaries and had them blessed in the Sacristy.

The exterior was simple and unostentatious but wow the interior was beautiful with ornate barouque style shrines all in gold How apt to house The Holy Infant Jesus and the museum was full of information

Mass is said in English at 12pm on a Sunday. Beautiful church which was full on the Sunday we were there.

We have a Santo Niño (Infant Jesus) in our home and it was wondeful to see THE original in front of me. I also attended mass in English which they had in Sunday at noon. The shop people were nice and you have the option to buy replicas in ceramic and porcelain. I also had the chance to speak to... More

The church is not so grand, the presentation of the baby Jesus either but I am still glad I went and you should go too if you are interested in the history.
