According to an ancient tradition, devotion to the Divine Infant Jesus dates back to Jesus’ childhood in Israel. He went to Mount Carmel with his parents, St. Joseph and Virgin Mary, to pray.
This devotion, however, is only realized many centuries later when it is based on the 12th year of Jesus’ earthly existence, that is, the merits he gained in his infanthood.
The Carmelites were responsible for extending this fervor. But in 1636, when the Lord appeared to Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament in an apparition, he made it more clear that “everything” she wanted to ask for, he promised her that “everything you need ask me for the merits from my childhood and you will not be denied.”
This devotion to the “Little Great One” has been a growing trend throughout Europe and America. So many wonderful favors have been given, that there are millions of people who love her.
