Divine Craftsmanship

Marvel at the exquisite detail of the Infant Jesus depicted in His royal robes and crown signifying His divine kingship.

The decorative scalloped edge and fine beaded border showcase the superior Italian craftsmanship of religious medals from this era.

This medal was expertly die-struck in Italy specifically for the New Haven shrine - a practice that has largely vanished in our modern age.

The integrated bail is perfectly formed allowing this spiritual protector to be worn close to your heart or attached to a treasured rosary.

At approximately 1 to 1.25 inches (25-32mm) in height this medal has the perfect devotional size - substantial enough to see the divine image clearly.

The silver-plated finish has developed a beautiful authentic patina that ONLY COMES FROM DECADES of faithful handling and reverent use.

Spiritual Significance

The Infant Jesus of Prague devotion is one of the most POWERFUL in Catholic tradition especially invoked during financial hardship and family crises.

This miraculous devotion traces back to a 16th-century wax statue given by Princess Polyxena of Lobkowicz to the Carmelite friars in Prague.

The Infant promised: 'The more you honor Me the more I will bless you' - making this medal a channel of divine favor for its owner.

Catholics have traditionally turned to the Infant of Prague during economic difficulties making this devotion especially relevant in today's uncertain times.

The child Jesus depicted in royal regalia reminds us that even in His infancy Christ is King of the Universe while remaining accessible to our prayers.

This specific medal carries the DOUBLE BLESSING of being connected to both the original Prague devotion AND the American shrine established to honor it.

The New Haven shrine was part of St. Stanislaus Church established in 1901 for Polish immigrants - adding layers of ethnic Catholic heritage to this sacred heirloom.
