The statue on the left is one of the statues that we had in my childhood parish of St Julian’s, the beloved statue of Our Lady of the Rosary, crafted by Carlo Darmanin, a well-known sculptor. It was made out of paper-mache, and is carried in procession every October through the streets of the town. Incidentally I came across another statue, seen here on the right, which looks very similar to the first one, displayed at the parish in Naxxar, and it was done by Jerome Darmanin, Carlo’s brother. You can compare and notice the many similarities.
