Ghajnsielem.com is bringing you three videos and another record number of photographs... over 850 photos covering the 2008's popular 'Marc tal-Balzunetta'.

The St Joseph Band and Xaghra's 'Victory' Band performed marches from Mgarr Road to Ghajnsielem street and finally ending in the main square. During the band-march, the statue of Our Lady of Home was accompanied by several youths dancing, singing and celebrating in style especially when 'Viva x-Xemx' and 'Ta Gerew' was played. For the third consecutive year, the statue placed on the pedestal in a spectacular way.

As the St. Joseph Band was playing in the main square, at around midnight, the statue was hanged to a wire-cable crossing the whole square and then started to move slowly towards the pedestal while remaining elevated a few meters above the crowd. Fire-planes crossed the main square among the chanting of 'Ave Maria' and 'Viva x-Xemx'.

The Ghajnselmizi surely know how to celebrate...
