Visiting our sister island of Gozo last Sunday I was able to attend a procession of the Nativity of Mary in the town of Xagħra (pronounced shara.) The place was jam-packed with people, tourists, locals and visitors from Malta. The beautiful church was lit up splendidly as you can see from these photos, and many other decorations were spread out throughout the large square in front of the Baroque church. The warm, humid weather didn’t dampen the spirit of the people attending who were entertained by marching bands, lots of fireworks, and for those who got hungry there were plenty of food stands to entice them. The festa season in Malta is now coming to an end with three more feasts left between now and he end of the year.
