An Ex-Voto is a devotional offering made to fulfill a vow or express gratitude for a favor received, often in a religious context. These offerings can take various forms, such as paintings, sculptures, or written testimonies, and are typically displayed in places of worship, like shrines or churches. They serve as a tangible reminder of the connection between the devotee and the divine. Historically, Ex-Votos have been used in many cultures, particularly within the traditions of Catholicism and folk religion. They often depict specific events, such as miraculous healings or protection from danger, highlighting the believer's faith and the perceived intervention of a saint or deity.
