If you cannot witness an entire Good Friday procession in person, maybe you can at least get a tiny glimpse of what it looks like by watching these 5 photos of a miniature procession, which I saw yesterday. It was displayed in a large hall at a local Band Club, complete with authentic Maltese type streets with balconies, local vendors, people looking from the side, an assortment of houses, stores, police station, and so much more, to create an atmosphere that is typical of Malta.
The procession is also complete with altar-boys, prelates, biblical characters, marching bands playing funeral marches, soldiers, boy scouts, and a set of statues that are carried shoulder-high on Good Friday in several parishes. The whole display features close to 1000 characters and is truly a work of art and clever craftsmanship.
