The statue, who wears his Kingdom, was taken to Prague in the Czech Republic by Maria Manriquez de Lara of his native Spain. In 1556, he married a Czech nobleman.
The statue finally was passed down to his daughter, Polyxena, who in 1629 decided to create a sculpture that is available to all believers. He gifted what he called his “dearest possession” to the Carmelite Convent in the Church of our Lady of victory in Prague. Friar in the monastery used sculpture to encourage devotion to Jesus.
