Fiesta time

The town where I live, Naxxar is one of 4 parishes where they celebrate the feast of the Nativity of Mary tomorrow. The other three are Senglea, Mellieħa and Xagħra in Gozo. All towns are fully decorated with banners, statues, lights and every imaginable decoration that paint the town in color, symbols of Mary, and everything enhanced by bells peeling, fireworks exploding and marching bands all over town. 

Of course the churches and the statue of Mary are always the highlight and focal point of the whole week-long Marian celebration.  These are just three photos from Naxxar parish.
