Good Friday

Crucifixion statue from Vittoriosa, Malta

The most solemn day of the liturgical year gives me the opportunity to share with you a few photos of this solemn and sombre celebration as it is presented in Malta. The Solemn celebration is held in most parish at 3 PM, the hour when Jesus died. This is followed in a few parishes by the procession with statues depicting various scenes from the Passion and Death of Jesus. Various exhibitions are held in parish centres and private homes depicting scenes from the Last Supper, especially with plates made from pasta, rice, semolina and beans with symbols and paintings related to this week.
