Ex-votos are objects or inscriptions offered in thanksgiving to God, the Virgin Mary or a saint, as a sign of gratitude for a grace received or a wish granted. The term comes from the Latin ex voto suscepto, meaning ‘as a result of a vow made’. The ex-voto is a gesture of personal and public faith. It expresses the believer's gratitude, recalls the power of divine intercession, and bears witness to the living links between heaven and earth. It is also a form of visual and collective prayer, passed down from generation to generation.
