@tessiebruno Greetings from Mosta. It is a beautiful feast and is well organised, always. Warm regards, Jasmine

@amarcordeon Thank Lillo for your comment and appreciation. Pleased to know that you enjoyed it. Just as various feasts on both islands, we found each of them very interesting and well organized. Breathtaking, indeed. The Statutes of Saints that were displayed on the streets and Church's Square were created by the famous artists - a family. Alfred & Paul Camilleri Cauchi, sons of the late renowned artist, Wistin. Warm regards from Malta, Jasmine & Alfred
