The church is quite small, and the main feature is a sculpture of the Christ Child, who is asked for all sorts of things. If you pass by, come in, I wouldn't have gone on purpose. The interior is standard, the entrance staircase is steep.

During the Prague tour, the guide took us to the Church of the Virgin Mary the Victorious, although a visit to the Kostel Panny Marie Vítězné a Pražské Jezulátko was not included in the program of the city walk. Apparently, Yaroslav herself really wanted to visit this place with good energy and aura in order to say a prayer in front of the image of the Prague baby and make a good wish. For which we are very grateful to her: she introduced our mini-group to a good cause. The specifics of the richly decorated church are such that services are held every hour in different languages: Czech, German, French, Spanish, Italian. We had a service in English. The church was full on Sunday afternoon. We quietly and delicately approached the altar to see the famous baby Jesus and read a prayer in Russian (on the leaves there are prayers addressed to Ezulatko and the Virgin Mary, in a variety of languages). If you have the opportunity, come here by all means! At the same time, you will see gifts from different countries: the outfits of the baby Jesus – a wax figurine presented to the church by the Spanish Princess Polixena in the middle of the XVII century – and find out what each color of the robe symbolizes, dedicated to a certain religious holiday. A very atmospheric church, unique in its own way
