During the last few years, Wednesday was hardly included in the external feast activities as no particular event used to be organized. A traditional dinner used to be held in the main square but this tradition died out during the last 4 / 5 years. Everything changed when last year Mons. Joseph Zerafa organized the first 'Lejla Marjana'. The aim behind this vigil night was to bring a religious element in the external activities. The formula proved to be a success and this year's event organized by Archpriest Frankie Bajada proved this.

Hundreds if Ghajnslemizi crowded the main square as Dun Gorg Bezzina, Archpriest of Fontana led the prayers while Gozo Bishop Mons. Mario Grech gave his spiritual thoughts.
