@Robbity thats a fabulous picture
I don't know if they still create the designs the original way, which was to press flower petals and leaves into clay trays.

A lot of the images I found were non religious and seem to be tourist attractions now rather than the old religious designs I first knew about...

This was the first sort of secular one I've seen and it almost moved me to tears as I have just recently read and watched To Serve Them All My Days and then started reading The Guns of August.

@Robbity and @SaskiaKC it was really interesting to see how the tradition has changed. So much has changed in society from religious to secular.
