A lot of pilgrims come to this church to bend down to the infant Jesus- the small statue.the entrance is free of charge. Every Sunday there is a mess at 10.00.in Czech language and at 12.00.in English. There is a museum inside. Just go upstairs and you can see some dresses of infant Jesus as a present of rulers, popes and other people. Fascinating place

My favorite church in the World. I wear a Baby Jesus every day on the chain on my neck. When my brother died I visited this church and was overcome with tranquility that he was in a better place

There are some very nice church visits that you can make in Prague and The Church of Our Lady Victorious is certainly one of the more interesting and memorable ones to see. The church is famous for housing the 400 year old Jesus Child statue, also referred to as the 'Infant of Prague'. Thousands visit this church each year as a form of pilgrimage to pay homage to the statue, and it was certainly busy at the time we visited during our recent trip to Prague. Visitors come from the world over and have included four recorded papel visits - the last being Pope Benedict XVI in September 2009. While the nave was very busy with worshippers and student groups who were occupying the pews at the time of our visit, it seemed visitors were welcome to get fairly close to the image, and photo-taking of the Jesus Child was allowed. However the statue is small, located high up and encased in glass so there is a bit glare when you taking photos. Further, in addition to seeing the Baroque decor of the church and the iconic Jesus Child statue, you can also see the many Jesus Child outfits, which have been gifted to the church from various nations around the world. These are on display in the upstairs museum, which is open from 9.30am to 9.00pm and is free to visit. Of interesting note, the nuns of the church change the outfit of the Child Jesus statue according to a religious calendar. As such, the appearance of the statue will be different throughout the year. There is also a gift shop at the back of the main church nave for those interested in purchasing a rosary or religious souvenir of their visit to The Church of Our Lady Victorious. Overall, we very much enjoyed our visit to The Church of Our Lady Victorious and would gladly return to see the Jesus Child statue and see what outfit it is wearing when next in Prague. In the end, this seemed to a worthy inclusion on visitor 'must-see' list of attractions.

Free entrance but the place looks and feels amazing to be inside. You can also go to second floor to see the gallery of the crown and historic piece of robes for Baby Jesus.

It felt special to see something that I have known about since childhood. And unlike many other icons such as this, this one was easily view-able and we were able to spend a little time there - not rushed through like we are at some places like this. The church is a little unassuming on the outside, but once you are inside and close to the Infant, it is exorbitantly beautiful. A must-see for anyone who was raised in the Catholic faith.

The church of Our Lady Victorious and of the Prague Infant Jesus has an extraordinary significance not only for its architecture and artistic decoration, but mainly for the fact that the famous statue of the Prague Infant Jesus is kept and venerated within

The famous waxed statuette of the Infant Child is kept in this church and is routinely clothed by the Carmelite nuns in precious fabrics bearing the regalia of the Czech Royalties. The church is luxuriously ornated with gilded statues, twisted columns and glistening bronze ornaments in the Baroque style. Worth visiting, the Infant itself is one of the most famous symbols of Prague and an item surrounded by mistery and legends.

Didn't know much of the church. Only wanted to go for Sunday mass. What a pleasant surprised to know that this church is well known for Infant Jesus all over the world. Read more of it and felt very blessed to be able to have mass here. The priest spoke very good English and sermon was clear and good
