As a type of religious and public testimony of gratitude, the ex-votos are objects of supply and thanks for a grace obtained by means of a deity. They belong to the Catholic cult and pop with symbolic function of overcoming difficulties through the compromise struck between an individual and his Holy of devotion. This highlights the importance of this practice as religious forces plumber element driven by faith and a feeling of closeness between the participants. From these aspects sought to address those objects their underlying aesthetic elements, taking into account the original contexts where the ex-votos emerged and acquired its religious significance and seeking to illustrate their importance as objects that have aesthetic and creative action. In this context, the practice of ex-votos works as a symbolic action that puts a kind of knowledge on the way that connects society, aesthetics, spirituality and corporate sentiment. In each ex-voto there is always a set of subjective values, a performance that takes place in the body and through the body. Are examples of how each social group constructs his idea of body and representation within the culture and pop religiosity through an aesthetic action often not intentional.
