Today processions and pilgrimages were held all over the islands with deep veneration towards Our Lady of Sorrows and in Ghajnsielem this was certainly not an exception as hundreds followed the solemn procession of Our Lady of Sorrow which went round the main streets of the village. The feast takes place before Palm Sunday and is considered as one of the most revered in the Maltese islands.

The procession started at 6.30pm and took the form of a pageant with various participants dressed up in period costumes to represent Biblical personalities. It was a day of devotion with several volunteers participating in this procession as an act of sacrifice or thanks-giving. The St Joseph Band accompanied the procession with religious and funeral marches.

The pageant started out at the church of Our Lady of Loreto passing from Chambrai Street (in front of the band and football clubs), then Dun Guzepp Galea Rapa Street, Moghdija Street, Gleneagles Street, turned into Ghajnsielem Street, Our Lady of Loreto Square, Ramon Perellos Street, Independence Square, down Anglu Grech Street, Apparation Sqaure and finally Fawwara Street. One could see many people praying with devotion along the street. Many devotees decorated their home facade with candles and Holy figures.

Hymns were sung as the Rosary was said on the way. Since the event was broadcasted live on Radju Lauretana, some devotees took their radio sets outside so that the pageant participants could hear the on-going commentary. The event was organized by L-Ghaqda Drammatika Ghajnsielem.
