A Day of Devotion: Our Lady of Sorrow
(Friday, 7th April
2006)


Hundreds of Ghajnsilmizi followed the solemn procession of Our Lady of Sorrow which went round the main streets. The procession took the form of a pageant with various participants dressed up in period costumes to represent Biblical personalities. The feast which takes place before Palm Sunday is considered as one of the most revered in the Maltese islands

The Procession started out at the church of Our Lady of Loreto passing from Chambrai Street (in front of the band and football clubs), then Dun Guzepp Galea Rapa Street, Moghdija Street, Gleneagles Street, turned into Ghajnsielem Street, Our Lady of Loreto Square, Ramon Perellos Street, Indipendence Square, down Anglu Grech Street, Apparation Sqaure and finally Fawwara Street.

It was a day of devotion with volunteers participating in these processions as an act of sacrifice or thanks-giving. The event was organized by L-Ghaqda Drammatika Ghajnsielem.
