At about 7.35 p.m. the statue was taken shoulder-high to the parish square as the people gathered recited the meditated Rosary. The choir sang Marian hymns. As soon as the statue arrived in front of the Band Club, the
Santa Marija Band welcomed the statue. A group photo was taken. The Band accompanied the statue to the square. Then the statue was put on its
bredella within the church as the Band entered the church and the congregation sang the
Innu lil Santa Marija. The pilgrimage was organized to celebrate the 150 anniversary of the statue. Written by: Fr. Geoffrey G. Attard. Image by: Matthew Vella (More images can be found on our facebook profile - Zebbug Gozo Parish) |
