APOSTOLIC VISIT TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC, Sept 26-28, 2009

COSTUME CHANGE
FOR THE 'INFANT OF PRAGUE'

I know I saw a story somewhere about the 'costume changes' for Prague's miraculous image of the Infant Jesus (and will post it later). Meanhile, Reuters's Per Josef took these photos as a Carmelite from the Infant Jesus shrine at Prague's Our Lady of Victory church replaced the statue's robes for the red ones in which Pope Benedict XVI will venerate the image tomorrow.

The iron Cross will be left in place afterwards as a permanent marker of the Pope's Mass on Sept. 27.
