Friday: Tal-Balzunetta March kicks off with a big Surprise
(Friday, 25th August
2006)
 

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.
