Santa Emma è venerata non solo in Austria, ma anche in Slovenia e Stiria. Da circa 300 anni fa, i fedeli che cercano assistenza sono venuti alla sua tomba nella cattedrale di Gurk (Krška Katedrala), viaggiando da Carnia nel Loiblpass. Questo pellegrinaggio si svolge ogni anno la quarta Domenica dopo Pasqua, ma cadde in disuso a causa delle circostanze politiche del XX secolo. Negli ultimi anni, tuttavia, le vie di pellegrinaggio da Slovenia e Stiria a Gurk (Krka) sono gradualmente riaperte e stanno diventando sempre più utilizzate.

Ema are small wooden plaques in which visitors to the shrine write their wishes and hopes for the future. "Postcards to the gods" is how they are sometimes described.

A ema, também chamada nandu, nhandu, guaripé e xuri, é uma ave da família Rheidae cujo habitat se restringe à América do Sul. Apesar de possuir grandes asas, não voa.
Fat cats adorn wooden wishing plaques at a shinto shrine in Tokyo. The plaques are known as Ema 絵馬, translated as 'picture horse', and are intended to bring luck to the person who hangs them. These plaques funnel a long tradition that started during the 8th century Nara period where people donated horses, seen as the “vehicles of gods”, to the shrines to assist with their prayer. Over the subsequent years due to the financial cost of horses, the tradition shifted first to pictures of horses on wood, and eventually to pictures of other animals. Tokyo, Japan.

Austrália
Curiously, this was a bird I took for granted. I thought that all I needed to do was go to Australia, leave the cities, and it would appear, running along the road.
I couldn't have been more wrong. And we covered many kilometers of road.
This photo was taken on the afternoon of the very last day when we saw this individual for the briefest of moments.

Ema (絵馬) are wooden plaques, often adorned with vibrant designs, where people inscribe their wishes for the future and then hang them at shrines and temples, following a common Japanese tradition. Initially, these plaques featured images of horses, as they were substitutes for actual horse offerings. Nowadays, they can display various illustrations.
The term ‘Ema’ is derived from two Kanji characters meaning ‘picture’ and ‘horse’. Traditionally, the most authentic Ema depicted a horse, reflecting their origin. During the late Nara period, people would offer horses to shrines, believing them to be divine messengers that could convey their wishes to the gods. However, as donating horses became too costly, the practice evolved into offering wooden plaques with horse images.
Today, while horse-themed Ema remain popular, there are many other types. For instance, at Shinto Inari shrines, you might find Ema featuring foxes, and there are even Ema with anime themes.
