Devotional Objects: Objects of piety, such as images and sculptural 
representations of God, Jesus, the Virgin Mary or the saints, or of 
churches and holy shrines. In addition, devotional objects include 
rosaries and vessels for holy water. They are sold in places of 
pilgrimage, but although often blessed in the Catholic church, they 
may not be sold as consecrated objects. Since the 19%%sup th/%  
century, they have largely lost their artistic significance as a 
result of industrial production.
