A teensy little wax doll that was given to Bohemia as a gift in the 1600's. This doll is said to have curative powers. Famous and normal people alike make pilgrimages to visit this doll from around the world. Beside the altar was a picture of the Pope kneeling in front of it.
There are several ceremonies each year to change the doll's clothes. You can view his outfits in the free museum in the church. Also, you can light up the alter by paying 10 crowns in this little machine beside the pews.
I think this is 1, just a little bit crazy, and 2, SO. AWESOME.
