Altar of Repose at Naxxar parish church |
Behold some of the most beautifully decorated Altars of Repose in some of the Maltese churches. These photos were taken on Holy Thursday evening or Good Friday morning when throngs of people go and pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament, reserved overnight in a special place decorated with flowers, candles, angels and other symbols connected to the Eucharist. Every parish and just about every church and chapel prepares this special altar, with the flowers used later on for the Easter season.

Altar of Repose at St Dominic's church in Valletta |
The last photo shows me during the foot-washing ceremony at my Hilltop Gardens chapel during the Mass, with the simple altar of repose on the right hand side.
