For the
first time, the St Joseph Band is organizing a 'Holy
Week' exhibition at the club's premises. The exhibition
was officially inaugurated by Mayor Francis Cauchi and
Club President Gino Cauchi and blessed by Archpriest
Can. Frankie Bajada. The exhibition is now underway and
will remain open until the 12th of April, Easter Sunday.
The
exhibition is showcasing over 100 artistic items and is
expected to attract a high number of people both from
Ghajnsielem and other localities. Items on display
include statues, religious paintings, artistic work in
'ganutell', old church vestments and items, paintings, a
section dedicated to the Ghaqda Drammatika Ghajnsielem,
several antique Holy Crosses and several other unique
sacred items.
The event
was sponsored by the Ghajnsielem Local Council and the
Band Club Committee is hoping to start organizing this
exhibition on a yearly basis.
