Sometimes the Three Princes of Serendip are more responsible for our apprehension of wonder than any religion.

Taken at Angelina in Paris, France.
Seems to be some kind of heavenly apparition in the form of a Mont Blanc, a divine dessert which, at Angelina, consists of a meringue enveloped in chantilly cream, then encased in a thick layer of extruded creme de marrons and dusted with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
The hot chocolate with whipped cream was pretty good too.

Amazing ex-voto paintings in the Santuario della Consolata, Turin. The light was very low, flash wasn't allowed, hence the poor quality!
"An ex-voto is a votive offering to a saint or to a divinity. It is given in fulfilment of a vow (hence the Latin term, short for ex voto suscepto, 'from the vow made') or in gratitude or devotion. Ex-votos are placed in a church or chapel where the worshiper seeks grace or wishes to give thanks. The destinations of pilgrimages often include shrines decorated with ex-votos."

"The Santuario della Consolata or Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Consolation is a prominent Marian sanctuary and minor basilica in central Turin, Italy. Colloquially, the sanctuary is known as La Consla.
"A church at the site, stood adjacent to the ancient Roman walls of the city. It is held that in the fifth century, Bishop Maximus erected a church dedicated to St Andrew Apostle with a small chapel to the Virgin with an icon. The icon, however, became the object of great veneration. Legend sustains that a blind pilgrim in the 12th century had his vision restored by the icon of the Virgin in the church. Inside the church, ex votos document centuries of miracles attributed to the Virgin.
"Over the years the church and the icon were rebuilt and restored by various orders of monks. The first major reconstruction leading to the church we see to day was commissioned in 1678 from the architect Guarino Guarini and the engineer Antonio Bertola. He created the elliptical shape of the church nave. The architect Filippo Juvarra in 1729-1740 added the North presbytery, thus creating a church with two apparent axis: a main altar on the east, while retaining the famed icon as a chapel to the North. The neoclassical facade, portico, and burial crypt on the south-north axis date from 1845-1860 with contributions by Pietro Anselmetti; further additions were made in 1899-1904 under the guidance of Carlo Ceppi."
