(portable) votive shrine Explanation: If you don't want to watch the video (though it's only 40 seconds long), here are some pictures :-) These are shrines to a saint, perhaps the patron saint of the town. Some of those in the video are pretty wacky, and don't look like a traditional shrine, but I think "shrine" is still a good collective description. It may be related to "recinto", meaning an enclosure. Reference: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.822553867761232.107... |
