Summary
| Description |
English: THE MALTESE FESTA - THE PROCESSION
Central to the Maltese Festa is the solemn procession with the reliquary and the statue of the patron saint(s). These pious manifestations epitomise the zealous religiosity prevailing in most island societies, in particular when faced with challenging situations. In turn, these holy protectors evolved into the ultimate personification of the ethos of the respective communities, and the parading of the remains and of the effigy of the same saint(s) along the squares and streets of the locality are testimony to this symbiotic affair.
