Watch: Divine Celebrations – The Profound Role Of Religion In Maltese Festas
Festas are a spectacle like few other islands offer – but the base of it all, the entire reason for the celebrations, are the religious overtures guiding the hearts of the organisers.
Beyond the fireworks, music, marches and statues, the religious fervour and dedication found within Maltese enthusiasts is central to the festa ethos.
And even though Malta is so small, you’d be surprised at the differences in how religious celebrations manifest themselves depending on which locality you are in.
