Legend of the Holy Child Jesus Doctor of the Sick

Legend of the Holy Child Jesus Doctor of the Sick

Believers say about the Child Doctor that when he is healing a sick person, the face of his image turns pale, but when the miracle has taken place and the beneficiary's health is fully recovered, his cheeks turn red again.

This popular belief spread by Tepeaca and the rest of the Mexican territory has given rise to a large number of allegories in his honor. However, his celebration in particular takes place on April 30, when devotees bring him various gifts such as: flowers, toys, sweets, and shoes.

It is said that in 1942, when Sister Carmen Barrios Báez brought the image dedicated to Jesus the Child, she deposited it in a display case. Later the small statue disappeared, so the nun immediately warned the hospital administration to try to recover it.

Hours later, the image would appear in its corresponding place, but, curiously, his shoes were covered in mud, as if he had been walking through the adjacent passages.

As a result of this, the popular belief arose that the Child walked through the corridors of the hospital with the intention of helping the sick there.

History

As has been pointed out, originally the image of the Child Doctor was in the hospital of the Municipal Palace, under the protection of the sisters of the Josefina congregation. Later, they relocated her to the residence of Trinidad Fuentes Flores, where she remained until July 5, 1963, when Carmen Barrios Báez died.

His next location would be the Parish of San Francisco de Asís, where he can be found to this day inside his own chapel, to the north of the church.

In 1991, the remains of Sister Carmen Barrios Báez were transferred to the chapel, where they lie at the entrance accompanied by a commemorative plaque. Subsequently, Father Salomón Mora established that the image of the Child would be placed on the main altar of the church.
