Orthodox Tamata — Metallic Votive Offerings

Orthodox Tamata — Metallic Votive Offerings
Tamata (τάματα) are traditional Orthodox metallic vows — small devotional plaques offered as an expression of prayer, hope, or gratitude.
Each piece carries its own symbolic meaning:
•Heart — prayers of love, healing, or thanksgiving.
•Eyes — protection and guidance.
•Body parts — petitions for healing and strength.
•Wedding crowns — blessings over marriage and family.
•Baby figures — prayers over children, fertility, and new beginnings.
Crafted in Greece, these timeless votive offerings are a physical manifestation of faith, often placed near an icon or shrine as part of a prayer or vow.
Perfect as a meaningful gift or personal act of devotion.
