Thousands of Ghajnsilmizi
were in for a surprise as l-Ghaqda ta' l-Armar
unexpectedly presented the new statue of Our Lady of
Home just a few minutes before the famous "March
tal-Balzunetta". The new statue is the work of Micheal
Camilleri Cauchi.
Shortly after the
presentation, the St Joseph Band and Xewkija's 'Prekursur'
Band played marches in Mgarr Road while accompanying the
new statue of Our Lady of Home. As the march ended in
the main square the crowd were in for another surprise.
The statue was hanged to a cable and moved slowly
towards the pedestal in the most spectacular way
crossing all the main square while staying a few meters
above the crowd. It was then put up on the pedestal set.
