St Joseph's feast

Today is the liturgical feast of St Joseph, since yesterday the church celebrated the 4th Sunday of Lent. Yet one beautiful church in Rabat, Malta celebrated the festive day in honor of the saint with a solemn procession through the streets of the town. These are just some photos of the decorated church and some outdoor decorations. It also helped that they had a beautiful day, and since this was the only church that celebrated in a festive mood, thousands of people took the opportunity to participate, visit the church and enjoy the festive mood, even though we're in the middle of Lent. Just as the young people feasted on Guinness and all brands of beer on Friday to honor St. Patrick, today, it was a different crowd that showed up to honor St. Joseph.
