In those years silver was discovered in Fresnillo and mines were being opened in the mountains near the settlement.

In 1554, the original Mexican NiГ±o de Atocha was brought from Atocha to Zacatecas, and installed in the church of Saint Augustine not long after a silver strike in Plateros. There is a shrine run by the Poor Clares, dedicated to NiГ±o de Atocha at Plateros, near the city of Fresnillo, in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico.

The people of Atocha took this as a sign that it was the Infant Jesus who went out every night to help those in need. They replaced the shoes of the Infant Jesus, but these became worn again. The women of the town returned to Our Lady of Atocha to thank the Virgin for her intercession and noticed that the shoes worn by the Infant Jesus were tattered and dusty. Reports soon began among the people of Atocha that an unknown child under the age of twelve and dressed in pilgrim's clothing had begun to bring food to childless prisoners at night. The women of Atocha prayed before the statue of Our Lady of Atocha at a nearby parish, a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to ask her son Jesus for help.

According to Juan Javier Pescador, it originally reflected devotions to three different depictions of the Virgin Mary: Our Lady of Atocha, Our Lady of Antigua, and Our Lady of Pregnancies that later coalesced into Our Lady of Atocha. Devotion to Holy Infant of Atocha originally began as a Marian devotion with a medieval statue of the Madonna and Child in Toledo, Spain.
