The devotion to the Infant Jesus starts at Bethlehem, and later, with the crib of Christmas of St. Francis of Assisi.
In Spain, St. Therese of Avila always made a gift of the Child Jesus to a new Carmelite foundation.
The Royal Infant of Prague made so many miracles that his devotion spread like fire to the whole world, lead by the Carmelites.
In Colombia, the Divine Child Jesus, made so many wanders and miracles, that his devotion spread to all America, with the Salesians Priests and Mary Help of Christians.
In the Philippines, almost every Christian has a statue of the Child Jesus at home.
In France, the devotion to the Child Jesus spread with St. Therese of the Child Jesus, and from France to the world.
In the USA, the devotion is great, with a beautiful shrine of the Dominicans Friars in New Heaven, Ct.
The childhood of Jesus has been always an active devotion in the Catholic church. Christians always longed to show their deep reverence to the incarnate God, Jesus Christ. The Child Jesus was adored by Church Fathers like St. Athanasius or St. Jerome. Other great worshipers of the Childhood Jesus's are St. Bernard of Chlairvaux, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Anthony of Padua. During the Baroque space it was first of all St. Teresa of Avila, who always traveled with her sculpture of the Infant Jesus during founding new convents. In Spain this cult had great devotion.In the 19th century the fame of the miraculous Infant Jesus spread to the Spanish speaking countries of South America, Central and North America, all Europe, Africa, and Oceania. Many Asiatic countries are thanking the Infant Jesus for miracles, like the Philippines, China, Vietnam, and India.
