"An ex-voto is a votive painting hung on a church wall to commemorate the recovery of the donor from some grave danger. The painting illustrates a written text that relates the circumstances of the cure or rescue. These written commentaries are often so full of regional dialect and phonetic spelling that it is impossible to translate them and still maintain their flavor. "
