Last year I visited an exhibition which displayed various statues of the passion of Christ from a Spanish perspective. They were shown in a parish hall in the town of Mqabba, collected by various friends over the years. One can see the elaborate clothing and detail in the pedestals, trimming and floral additions to make the whole display quite attractive. There were quite a few statues of the Sorrowful Mother as well as the crucifixion itself, but here I show you just three of the many miniature statuettes which will for sure be displayed again this year. More and more of these exhibitions will open up in the coming two weeks, as more craftsmen and women are showcasing their precious creations. I hope to show you more of them in the next 3 weeks, especially new ones I will see personally.
