Holy Week 2009
Analysis and Reflections

 

Ghajnsielem managed to offer and attract a unique experience during the Holy Week as all the village organizations worked together to create an exhaustive calendar of activities and attractions. The Ghajnsielem Parish Church and St Anthony's Church were both tastefully decorated for the occasion and their liturgical celebrations can be simply described as "sublime". The Ghaqda Drammatika Ghajnsielem managed to re-create a unique experience of the passion of Jesus Christ thanks to the 'Via Sagra' re-enactment around the main streets of Ghajnsielem. During the 'Musica Sagra' concert, the St Joseph Band played several  pieces of funeral marches at an astonishing level of virtuosity which rightly brought those present to their feet to acknowledge with applause.  The main square was also decorated with several Holy Crosses and Palms to give a unique ambience to the visitors during the ‘seven visits’ on Maundy Thursday. Other interesting attractions included the 'Holy Week Exhibition' at St Joseph Band Club which was sponsored by the Ghajnsielem Local Council, the Golgota model made by the Altar Boys, and the Last Supper Table at the Franciscan Youths Center. And for the benefit of our beloved emigrants, Ghajnsielem.com and Radju Lauretana again offered superb coverage for all activities related with the Holy Week. Our village is fast developing a cultural dimension based on three pillars: Christmas, the Holy Week and the titular Feast. Hopefully the last few months were just a hint of bright things to come...
