Description
There is nothing more natural than giving a gift in gratitude for a favour done
or to commemorate an important event
It is in times of danger that prayer becomes most urgent and takes the form of a vow should one be spared:
a donation, a candle, a pilgrimage, a painting, a model…
Moreover, the maritime ex-votos that fill our coastal churches and chapels are moving testimonies to a simple faith and folk art, and should be seen as gestures of gratitude
