Living on a boat. a traveling home. sailing from Croatia to Greece. in a blue white and red boat. on a day on the Isalnd of Lefkas, between Nidri and Lefkada, I happened upon quite a few of these shrines. On closer inspection they contain olive oil bottles, trinkets, paintings of the gilded mother and child, and various other personal little trinkets. perhaps they are at a crash site, and are for the deceased?
IN any case, they were a sweet yet strong reminder of the cathoic influence in Greece, and their devotion to their families...
