And to conclude my Lenten-Holy Week-Easter presentations here are three photos of the procession held last Sunday at Valletta, the capital city. The monument in bronze that you see in the background is a historic monument dedicated to the Great Siege which Malta fought against the Turks and the Ottoman Empire in 1565. The statue of the Risen Christ is actually the smaller version of the original statue, which was not taken out in procession because of a windy day.
Other characters like St Helena and St Constantine were not in the procession either, and in a way, it was a shorter version of the customary procession, although it did attract many people, especially tourists who heard the marching band playing festive marches and waltzes, and like a magnet, they congregated to the procession.
