St Joseph Band in
Good Friday procession
(Friday, 6th
April 2012)
The St
Joseph Band kept its annual
appointment of participating in the
Good Friday procession which is held
around the main streets of Nadur.
The band, directed by Mro. Sunny
Galea and assisted by Mro Frankie
Debono, played over three hours of
funeral marches around the main
streets of the village. The
committee was also accompanied by
Radio 101's 'Marci u Bandalori
presenter Joseph Chetcuti
Earlier today, the Liturgy of the
Passion and Death of Our Lord is
celebrated. The liturgy started at
3.00pm in complete silence
traditionally marking the hour of
Christ's death on the cross. There
was then the reading of the Passion
account from the Gospel of John
which was read dramatically, with
the priest and the congregation all
taking part. During the celebration,
the parishioners approached a wooden
cross and venerated it. Since no
Masses were said on Good Friday the
reserved Host from the Maundy
Thursday Mass was used.
