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

 

Heart Symbolism:

The heart adorned with 7 swords represents the sorrows of Mary, signifying

promises of peace, enlightenment, and consolation. The heart with flames

represents Christ's love for humanity, while the surrounding light symbolizes

divine guidance in dark times. It's also a common symbol of love and passion.
