JewishEncyclopedia.com - PEACE-OFFERING:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) The thank-offering is a response to acts of divine beneficence; the votive and the free-will sacrifices are connected with the expectation of benefit; but the significance of the thank-offering is wider than that of the other two. The votive offering is prompted by a feeling of gratefulness at the fulfilment of a petition; while the free-will sacrifice, which has the character of complete voluntariness, has its origin not so much in the gratitude elicited by a happy experience as in the spontaneous motive of piety. The offering of the first-fruits is counted among shelamim, as is also the offering of the vow, which was made not at its assumption, but at its fulfilment (Num. www.jewishencyclopedia.com /view.jsp?artid=131&letter=P   (1718 words)

Votive Offerings Votive Offerings is the general name given to those things vowed or dedicated to God, or a saint, and in consequence looked upon as set apart by this act of consecration. So, too, sometimes a wax taper of the height of the sufferer, or even of his dimensions was brought or sent to be burnt where the cure or favour was implored. Of the pictures of miracles as votive offerings there seems no end ("Archæologia", XLIX, London, 1886, 243-300); their number became at times an inconvenience (Acta SS., XIV, May, I, 354), like the numerous crutches, etc., in the grotto at Lourdes or S. Nicolà at Verona, or SS. www.catholicity.com /encyclopedia/v/votive_offerings.html   (439 words)

Kalarte. Art from Latin America. Retablos. In the west, these votive objects are called ex-votos, from the Latin for "from (or out of) a vow," indicating that these offerings are often made as part of a promise to a deity for, or in anticipation of, a prayer answered. Because tinplate was so cheap, the practice of offering votive paintings to Jesus, Mary, or one's favorite saint became very common among the masses in the west central states of Mexico, and the custom was abandoned by the upper classes. The votive painting on tin did not experience the same fate as the retablo santo, the painting on tin of a saint, which was replaced by cheaper lithograph prints and mass-produced religious objects in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. kalarte.com /latin/retablo/exvototext.html   (1483 words)

Votive Offerings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) "votives" and "ex-votos") are actions or material things vowed to God (or promised to a Saint for their intercession with God) in return for a hoped-for miracle, offered in thanksgiving for already-answered prayer, or given in thanksgiving for blessings not asked for. For example, on his wedding day, the English King Henry III offered a gold statue of his bride at the shrine of St. Edward, and King Edward III left a model of a ship at his father's tomb when he was spared from a shipwreck.

Gabriel Fernández Ledesma, Niña. Andres Blaisten Museum Several of the sources and models for modern Mexican art come from the area of folk culture, and Gabriel Fernández Ledesma was, justly, a great promoter of the aesthetic worth of his type of manifestation, even elevating it to the degree of art. On the pages of the magazine Forma which Fernández Ledesma directed, one can see the laudatory essays on paintings of votive offerings, regional portraits, daguerreotype photography and decorative paintings of the "pulque" bars together with the murals of Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros and the achievements of the open painting and sculpting schools and workshops. This juxtapositioning between formal painting and folk painting is seen as a theoretical basis in many painters in the development of Mexican art. museoblaisten.com /02asp/English/paintingEnglish.asp?numID=26&...   (143 words)
