Verse on the back:
Since the birth of Christ, there has been a devotion
to the infant Jesus. Christians have always longed
to show their deep reverence to the Christ Child.
All of Christ's life is a model of wisdom and a source of
salvation. The image of the Divine child remind us to
have faith and innocence of children.
The divine child became an icon in the Spanish
speaking nations of South and Central America in the late
19th and early 20th centuries, where the Divine Child is
credited with many miracles. One such miracle involved a
Salesian priest named Father Juan Rizzo. Father Juan was
helping to raise money to build a much-needed church in
Barranquilla, Colombia. The project had run out of money
before the church was finished, so Father Juan prayed to
the Divine child for guidance. The divine child instructed
Father Juan to carry His image of long as he went in search
of funds for the church. Father Juan one was overwhelmed by
the generosity that he encountered, and was able to collect
funds to complete the church. More than 20 years later,
Father Juan was charged with building a chapel in Bogota,
Colombia. He use the same fund raising technique as he
did in by Barranquila, and met with the same success.
