Ex-votos

Christian votives for healings
Ainda me lembro de ir com a minha avó a uma procissão, quando era pequena, e achar muito estranho ver aquela gente toda com partes do corpo feitas de cera para agradecer ou pedir favores ao santo padroeiro da aldeia. Encontrei estas imagens na wikipédia e achei-as interessantes apesar de estarem completamente votadas ao abandono. Achei principalmente original esta primeira foto.

Mais perto de Deus

É incrível como foi possível construir alguns destes mosteiros. Mas confesso que me apetecia passar uns dias num local espantosamente calmo e retirado do mundo citadino.
