Holy Infant of Good Health

The Holy Infant of Good Health (Santo Niño de la Salud) is a statue of the Christ Child regarded by many to be miraculous, which was found in 1939, in Morelia, Michoacán State, Mexico.

[1] On April 21, 1942, the image of the Holy Infant was placed in Saint Augustine Church in Morelia and officially blessed and given the title of the Santo Niño de la Salud (“Holy Infant of Good Health”).

[2] On September 9, 1966, an order of religious sisters, the Missionaries of the Holy Infant of Good Health, was founded in Morelia.

The little statue is dressed "with symbols of the power of Christ, wearing a royal mantle, trimmed in ermine, a golden scepter in the left hand while the right is raised in blessing, and on the head an imperial crown of precious stones."

The feast day of the Holy Infant of Good Health is celebrated on April 21, the anniversary of the image receiving its title.
