Back in time

Yesterday, in my hometown of St Julian’s a historic re-enactment took place to celebrate the feast of the Ascension. Plenty of men and women, dressed in period costumes from the 17^th century paraded through the streets, and then a presentation took place where the Grand Master of the Knights of Malta was presented with various gifts, as if everything was happening in 1720 or thereabouts. Shotguns were fired, marching bands paraded through the streets, adding to the festive mood, and tourists and local folks alike enjoyed the colourful display, taking us back in time, as I hope these photos would do to you too.
