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.

This stone, with its fine grain and delicate pink color, is a peculiarity of Saint Gernain: it is sandstone, the rock that outcrops at the site of "Les Carriers," where it forms a hill overlooking the wide cone of fluvioglacial ejecta from the Ognon. Indeed, the former ice ages caused the extensive deposits of alluvial soil that covered virtually the entire territory of Saint Germain and the neighboring communes. A succession of layers of different materials, mixed with varying degrees of clay, explains the numerous springs, streams, and wetlands. Humans have exploited this abundance of water: here by drainage, there by retaining the water for ponds or for use as washing places.
