Re: Antique Wooden German Catholic Prayer Box With Wax Doll...
"The Christ Child of Loreto (Salzburger Kindl) is a miraculous statue of the infant Jesus now housed in Maria Loreto Convent in Salzburg, Austria.
Dating from the 17th century, the small statue of the Christ Child originated in Switzerland. It was given to a Capuchin priest named Fr. John Chrysostom Schenk by his monastic superior. The priest held the statue very dear to his heart and took it with him on all his priestly errands in a small wooden box."
I am going to assume this is some sort of tourist item?.
