Ex Votos: A Tradition of Gratitude

Ex votos, originating from the Latin phrase "ex-voto suscepto," mean "from the

vow made." These objects have been carried in Europe for centuries as tokens

of devotion, expressing thanks for granted wishes, prayers, and intentions. An

ex voto serves as a tangible reminder of a vow, symbolizing the miracle itself

and marking important stages in life

Sailboat Symbolism:

Sailboats symbolize journeys, adventures, and the breath of life that propels

them forward. They've been associated with various meanings, including faith,

discovery, and prosperity. The boat and sail represent security and growth

needs, enabling the sailboat to navigate the waters of life.
