I took this on the way to my car after a football game this fall.
It reminded me of taking city walks in Philadelphia where my parents lived.
When we headed south on Ninth Street, we’d see ceramic window decorations and many were religious.
It was as if the residents dressed their windows for others to see and enjoy.
Blessings for passersby. Theadora of People places and bling blog from Paris wrote and identified the holy statue as the Infant Jesus of Prague
Maybe I’ll return and see what’s in this window for Christmas time.
What a beautiful Infant of Prague. Pretty shot!! I love the reflection of the building. Theadora (I still spot the statues in Baltimore windows.)
Thanks for identifying the statue Theadora. I appreciate your good words on the blog.

Ahh.. that’s so cute, I should do that!! xx
Dressing part of a home for the benefit of others versus one’s self – I like it!
There is also a reason for it facing out but I can’t remember. Some one told me that you should keep money under it so it will keep you in money.
When I first saw the little house I live in I knew it was the right one because it had a ceramic something – bird, figure, horse – in EVERY window and most had plastic flowers as well. And the drapes were fiberglass. I thought “house, 1910, housekeeping vintage 1950 and no modernization” and I was right.
I’ve not seen a statuette like this one in ages, Ruth. It was back when St. Christopher rode atop many cars’ dashboards.
This is priceless! Thanks for sharing.
