Summary

This is a study of the cult to the infancy of Christ as from two different denominations: the Santo Niño de Cebú (The Holy Child of Cebu, in the Philippines) and the Child Jesus of Prague, from the point of view of Anthropology of Religion. These are two phenomena which, although they share a common origin and similar formal characteristics, their respective symbolic appropriation of the image and what it represents is carried out in a different manner in each case.
