Church In Tarnowka - The Icon And Votive Offerings

Tarnowka, Poland

In Poland there is a religious tradition, that people place votive offerings near the icon or altar in the church, after their wishes have been fulfilled after prayers.
Postevangelical church in Tarnowka (Greater Poland Voivodeship), of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in 1773.

Beautiful capture of this stunning icon. I recognize the offerings quite well by now, but I never understood why they were there. V.
