During the Muslim occupation of the Spanish city of Atocha, a child dressed as a pilgrim is said to have visited a group of starving Christian prisoners, bringing a basket of food and a gourd with water that remained full even after everyone had been fed. The child, actually a manifestation of Christ, had answered the prayers of the prisoners' families. Here, the Christ Child is shown in a contemporary pilgrim's robe, cape, and brimmed hat. He holds a basket in his right hand and a pilgrim's staff in his left.
