A photo of a little boy praying with Santa Claus at a shopping mall has gone viral, spreading the word about the needs of a sick baby.

Unlike most little kids who get to sit on Santa's lap, 4-year-old Prestyn Barnette asked Jolly Old St. Nick to pray with him on behalf of a baby on life support.

This touching scene of Santa and Prestyn praying took place at the Dutch Square Mall in Columbia, South Carolina.

The prayer came after Barnette learned through his grandmother about a couple-month-old baby named Knox, whose parents recently found him not breathing and had him rushed to a hospital.

After the prayer came action as Barnette then went to a Build-A-Bear Workshop and had a stuffed bear made especially for Knox, fittingly named Miracle.
