About

The church was built on the site of the burial of those who died from the plague. It was erected with the funds of the Lesser Town community, one of the historical districts of present-day Prague. Initially, the church, dedicated to Jan Hus, was small, and the actual Protestant church emerged here in 1609. In 1624, the church briefly came into the possession of the Carmelites, and in 1784, it was permanently assigned to them. A functioning convent of Carmelite nuns, known as the "Barefoot Carmelites," is located here to this day. Of interest is the statue of baby Jesus in the church - when it was found by a nun, the baby was in a swaddling cloth and was barefoot.

There is a legend that the Prague statue of the Infant Jesus possesses miraculous properties and even healed a member of a Czech aristocratic family from deafness and blindness.
