? Easter is coming, Malta! ??

?? Holy Week and Easter in Malta are deeply rooted in religious observances, drawing crowds of faithful to churches across the island to commemorate the profound events of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection.

? The solemnity begins on the Friday prior to Good Friday, marked by a poignant procession through the streets of Valletta and other localities, carrying the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows.

? Tomorrow is Maundy Thursday, setting the stage for reflection with the tradition of 'seven visits' to different churches, paying homage to the Altars of Repose.

? Good Friday casts a solemn atmosphere as churches strip away ornate decor. In the afternoon, towns and villages echo with solemn processions, each statue portraying a facet of Christ's Passion, carried by devout bearers amidst biblical character reenactments. Some penitents even bear crosses or drag chains as acts of faith.

? Easter Sunday heralds a joyous transformation with the resounding bells announcing Christ's Resurrection. A jubilant procession featuring the Risen Christ statue, accompanied by festive music, fills the streets. The triumphant return to the church marks the pinnacle of celebration.

? Families gather for a special Easter lunch, exchanging well wishes and small gifts, while children delight in chocolate Easter eggs and traditional 'figolla' pastries, shaped as rabbits, lambs, fish, or hearts, adorned with icing sugar.
