Maltese craftsmen 1

The Agony in the Garden, a set of three statuettes by Shawn Saliba
I introduce you today and tomorrow to two young artists and craftsmen who have created beautiful statues, artwork and all kinds of statuettes from clay, terracotta and other material. Today we meet Shawn Saliba whom I met during an exhibition of some of his works, during this Holy Week, known for the many exhibitions held throughout the Maltese Islands.

    Father Cassar,

    It truly is a blessing to see the Lord through art. I suppose when one looks at artwork depicting our Lord, it is a wordless and quiet prayer.

    I must ask. Do you know Mark and Pam Gross from Boise, Idaho? They are dear friends of mine and they are Catholic.

    Hasi
