I hope you do not mind sharing another beautiful Nativity, this time with the backdrop of the capital city Valletta throughout history. It shows Castille Palace, one of the majestic palaces built by the Knights of Malta, Our Lady of Victory Church, the first ever built, and the first Maltese saint, George Preca, who now features in most nativities, because he encouraged children to build their own nativity, besides starting the Christmas Eve procession, a tradition that is still held in all parishes.

One can see also various Maltese characters and the nativity displayed in a dilapidated house, the ruins resulted from the World War II bombings. Another destroyed building is the Malta Opera house, that was just recently restored but without a permanent roof.
