Devotion
to the Infant Jesus :
Devotion to the infancy of
God incarnate is actively practiced in many
centers of Christianity. Any one who attentively
and frequently reads the New Testament discovers
immediately the Origins of devotion to the
Infant Jesus. St. Luke in particular seems to
have had a particular devotion to the Christ

the birth place of the Divine Child.
