This book accompanies the exhibition that took place from July 22nd 2006 to September 3rd 2006 at the Pyrgos Vazaiou on the island of Naxos, as part of the Naxos 2006 Festival. The publication presents ex-voto offerings from the collections of the Benaki Museum, with texts by Sofia Handaka, concerning the practice of votive offerings and the study of ex-votos as museum artefacts. Using a set of photographs by Maria Houlaki as his starting point, a text by Platon Rivellis discusses the issue of the photographic rendering of a votive offering.
