As we meditate on the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I invite you to enjoy two special videos of processions held in Malta today. The first one is from 2018, filmed in the parish church of Zebbug, including many highlights of this colorful and dramatic procession held through the streets of the town, complete with full size statues of various scenes from the passion, besides many Biblical characters, children with various symbols, many Roman soldiers, including on on a horse-driven chariot, marching bands, boys scouts, etc. This kind of procession is held in 15 other parishes in the early evening, both in Malta and Gozo, somewhere between 5 PM and 9 PM.
The second video shows a different kind of procession held at Vittoriosa, known as the Black procession, held this year a few days earlier, where most of the characters are dressed in black, a very sombre and haunting scene, which is the first time I watched it, and is not held in all the parishes.
