Malta's Ex Voto stamp


Malta: Traditions of old. Preparing the nets for the next catch.

A wonderful people card and a new stamp!
The stamp comes from the "Ex Voto" issue which shows a maritime theme.
"Ex Voto" comes from the Latin word ,meaning "from the vow made" which is used
in the Roman Catholic Church for offerings. There are many "Ex Voto" paintings
in Malta churches and sancturies. 
Thank you Silvan for the great stamp and card!
