Universal Celebrations takes a weekend visit to Prague, and amongst many other worthy sights, makes a point of visiting, the small unassuming church, which is home to "The Child of Prague". Much smaller than anticipated, (perhaps only 1ft in height) the wax figure of an infant stands in a stunning glass casket, on an alter, surrounded by the most beautiful and fragrant display of flowers.
No photographs may be taken. People stand to admire, and kneel to pray, with an opportunity to light a candle and contribute to the upkeep of the little church, as surprisingly, it is free to enter. Buying a booklet on the history of The Child of Prague, we quickly learn that he has a wardrobe so full of ornate and intricate gowns that he could easily compete with any woman of standing in the 21st century.
"The Child of Prague" is not something that is signposted, but there is a tourist information board at the end of Charles Bridge ... from there it is only a five minute walk, and tourist information were kind enough to point us in the right direction. "Worth a visit" - and by all accounts, Prague is a very beautiful city.
