Holy Infant of Atocha, Religious shrine in Fresnillo, Mexico
The shrine contains a statue depicting the Christ child wearing pilgrim attire with a basket of bread and a staff in his hands.
The devotion originated in Spain during the 13th century when a child in pilgrim clothing brought food to Christian prisoners under Muslim rule.
The shrine draws thousands of pilgrims who participate in processions featuring traditional dancers, mariachi bands, and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
The shrine maintains regular visiting hours and accommodates large groups of visitors with dedicated spaces for prayer, offerings, and religious celebrations.
Local miners in Zacatecas reported encounters with a child matching the statue's description who provided aid during underground emergencies.
