The Santo Nino de Atocha is a beautiful devotion, originating in Spain in the late middle ages.

My family is involved in the Hispanic Ministry in our parish, and we absolutely love it. Our Spanish-speaking congregation includes people from many parts of Latin America and from Spain. And they've all been very kind to this Midwestern Anglo family with limited Spanish skills :-). If we can't communicate, we just grab the nearest teenager to translate!

Yes that is the proper name.

KV put up that pic with the official Spanish framing on a wall high up so he can see it.

Also carries the Key chain on his wheelchair for traveling safety prayers.

The really cool thing is the sky light above his bed at times lets in the moon light and it shines right on Santo Nino like around 1am ish. Totally unplanned.
