4-year-old asks mall Santa to pray for ailing baby the boy has never met

A 4-year-old South Carolina boy touched hearts around the world when he told a mall Santa that his Christmas wish list included Santa's prayers for a baby on life support in Las Vegas.

Prestyn Barnette met Santa at the Dutch Square Mall in Columbia., S.C., a week ago. First, the shy little boy asked for a toy train. Then he asked St. Nick to pray for Baby Knox, a 2-month-old being kept alive on a respirator. Prestyn learned about the infant through his grandmother's Facebook prayer group.

"Santa said we will pray now and he got down and prayed," the grandmother Robin Sharpe told WIS-TV. "There were many bystanders there that day. They just stood some of them, just bowed their head and prayed."

Prestyn's aunt, Rebekah Lauren Sharpe, snapped a shot of the boy praying with Santa and posted it on Facebook. The photo went viral.

Lovely story. I hope the baby does well and makes asses of the docs who want the family to withdraw life support.
