Assumpta est Maria, alleluia!

The whole island celebrates with great joy the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For ten parishes (8 in Malta and 2 in Gozo) it is more special as it is their feast of title. It is a Maltese tradition to visit some of these churches saying the Rosary from one to another. Today we have visited four: Imqabba, Qrendi, Gudja and Hal Ghaxaq. Here are some pics:


1. Imqabba



It is good to note that even in the afterlife the clergy of Imqabba are properly attired!





2. Qrendi



I would love to have a go at this...





3. Gudja


...and from Gudja, a challenge to servers at St. John's




4. Hal Ghaxaq




The humble sacristy basin...





And finally pilgrims refreshed:
