Description
The Latin expression “ex voto” means “something that comes from a vow or promise”. It is when a faithful prays to a saint with an intention, and later fulfills his promise to make an offering after receiving a grace or healing.
So an ex-voto is a token of gratitude, but also a testimony of the faith of believers. With the growing devotional fervor in Europe, this custom of making offerings began to gain strength from the fourteenth century.
The wealthier classes turned to artists to create the pieces, achieving great aesthetic value. With the Spanish conquest of America, the tradition of ex-votos reached Mexico, where it grew even more and became an important part of the national popular culture.
That is why many people believe that the origin of the ex-votos is Mexican, but in reality the custom comes precisely from Italy, which was (and still is) an important place for Catholicism in the old continent. Our CROSSES are an element of faith that you can always carry with you.
