Czech Ambassador Jaruslav Ludva came to Vigan for the second time. Last year he was the guest of honor during a Special Lecture on the Life of Philippine National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. This time, he came to t
his City to personally deliver a replica of the image of Sto. Nino de Praga to Archbishop Ernesto Salgado of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia. A catholic himself, the ambassador came with his wife, daughter and mother-in-law.
According to Anders Wong, the devotion to the Holy Child Jesus or Sto. Nino has long been a tradition of the Catholic Church for a very long time. This devotion is a venerati?on of our Lord's sacred Infancy. Many saints had a very strong devotion to the Divine Child, notably St. Therese of the Child Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Teresa of Avila.

Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic, which is at the very central of Europe with Germany, Poland, Russia and Austria as its neighbours. The history of the Infant Jesus of Prague started in the 17th c
entury when a statue of the Infant Jesus was brought into Bohemia (now Czech Republic) and eventually was given to the Discalced Carmelites in Prague. Since then, the statue has remained in Prague and has drawn many devotees worldwide to go and honor the Holy Child. Many graces, blessings, favors and miraculous healings have been received by many who petitioned before the Infant Jesus.

presentation of the replica of the image in the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia makes the Ambassador's visit significant. It strenghthens the religious, cultural and civil ties between the Philippines and Czech Republic.
