Reproduction in the church of Vouhenans in 1948 by Jean Bertrand and Bojena Krieshoferova, his wife. Infant Jesus of Prague The Infant Jesus of Prague, known as the Bambino di Praga, is a 47 cm high wax votive figure depicting a Christ Child with charming features, whose right hand is a sign of blessing and whose left hand holds a globe crowned by a cross. This statue, originating in Spain, was received by Duchess Maria Mai Lara as a gift at her wedding to a Czech nobleman in 1556. His daughter, Polyxena de Lobkowicz, offered it to the Convent of the Discalced Carmeters in the Church of Notre Dame de la Victoire in 1628. Many miracles were attributed to him during the Baroque period, including the protection of Prague during the Swedish siege of 1639. She was carried in procession around the city's churches in 1651 and solemnly crowned by the Archbishop of Prague in 1655. She is still the object of fervent veneration by pilgrims from all over the world. Her famous wardrobe is rich in more than one hundred precious garments, offered by illustrious or anonymous pilgrims. The most beautiful embroidered mantles and numerous objects dedicated to the cult of the statue can be seen in the Museum of the Infant Jesus in Prague, located in the Church of Our Lady of Victory. Our Lady of Victory. The building, built between 1611 and 1613 during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II, was one of the first Protestant temples in Prague. In 1620, after the Tehek defeat of White Mountain, it was taken from the Protestants, donated to the Catholic Pordre des Carmes Déschausés, and renamed Notre-Dame de la Victoire. This church is one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in the Czech Republic.

A very beautiful Catholic church. The stained glass windows are worth seeing and invite you to take a moment to reflect.

Notre-Dame-du-Haut pilgrimage chapel, 1950 The Notre-Dame-du-Haut chapel in Ronchamp is the icon of Christian sacred architecture that revolutionized church building in the 20th century. The chapel is in a dominant position on a hill at the Burgundian Gate near Belfort. Apart from its rather bare summit, this hill is wooded, as are the neighboring hills. Le Corbusier took into account the trees, the views into the distance and the horizon line in his design. The basic features of the design for the chapel were created in just a few days: an asymmetrical building, curved walls, vaulted by a roof whose shape is reminiscent of the shell of a crab. The asymmetry broke with the traditional idea of a cruciform church floor plan. A unified church space was created, without a side or transept, which is nevertheless oriented towards the east.

In addition to the chapel, Le Corbusier built two smaller buildings, the guard's house and the pilgrim's house, which contains bedrooms and a kitchen. A step pyramid, also built from ruined stones and dedicated to the victims of the fighting in 1944, completes the architectural ensemble.
