• Everyday Miracles: Medical Imagery in Ex-Votos

  
  

  AVAILABLE

  

  

  Healing and faith have always played a role in the lives of the faithful. They are interwoven in the fabric of social history. How we regard illness and healing, and how we cope with them have captured our imagination throughout the ages.

  The expression of our relationship with illness is wonderfully illustrated in the ex-voto, a devotional painting that gives thanks to a saint or deity for a miraculous healing or blessing. The faithful have always used prayer to invoke the aid of saints as a means to heal the sick and end one's suffering. These devotional paintings are an individual's expression of thanks for the intercession of the divine in a crisis, a snapshot in time of illness and healing. They offer a rare opportunity to view health, healing and illness through the hearts and minds of the ordinary person.
