Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Agents of Faith: Ex Votos, Votive Offerings, and Beyond Monday, February 18, 2019 Throughout time and across cultures people have made objects and offered them as acts of faith. Known as votives, these objects are expressions of fundamental human needs and concerns. They may be offered as tokens of desire or gratitude, to make a pledge or fulfill a vow, to preserve a memory or commemorate a miracle. The lecture will explore varieties of votive giving in order to unpack the spiritual concerns and material solutions votives have to offer. Time: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm EST/GMT-5 Location: Olin Humanities, Room 202 Sponsor: Art History Program, and Asian Studies Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program Contact: Richard Davis.
