I've picked a good time to visit Malta!
From a photographers point of view anyhow.

Easter time, in our opinion, is one of the most spectacular times to visit Malta. It is a time steeped in tradition and ritual. It is a time of processions, pilgrimages, bell ringing, pageants and more. In fact, most towns and villages stage some event to mark Holy Week.

I fear I may get converted back to Catholism

Easter in Malta|Traditions and Events

Maltese Easter Traditions

Easter time, in our opinion, is one of the most spectacular times to visit Malta. It is a time steeped in tradition and ritual. It is a time of processions, pilgrimages, bell ringing, pageants and more. In fact, most towns and villages stage some event to mark Holy Week.

Some villages have dedicated drama groups founded solely to produce such events during Holy Week.

Most of the Maltese population are devout Roman Catholics and the celebrations of Holy Week and Easter are primarily of a religious character. However even if you are not a religious person or a non-believer, most of the Maltese traditions, which take place during the Easter period, are interesting to participate in or to just watch.

The preparations for Holy Week in Malta commence, 40 days before Easter, this time of the year, in the Western Christian calendar is known as Lent ;it is traditionally a time for reflection and repentance.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday, marks the start of Lent. On Ash Wednesday, during Mass, the priest uses ashes to mark the faithful’s forehead with the sign of a cross, this is meant to signify death and repentance.

After evening mass, in many localities in Malta and Gozo, a procession with the statue of Christ the Redeemer, is held. The biggest pilgrimage in held in Senglea, one of the Three Cities, in the South of the island.


Easter in Malta : ETI Malta

[Joe 90]

Cheers Nev, should be an interesting week of sightseeing and different food.

The pastries and rabbit are on my list.

Not forgetting the heavily Italian influenced cuisine, might even have a boat tide to Sicily for a slice of Mafioso pizza.

There'll be new potatoes there by now.

[Joe 90]

It does take the element of surprise away to a certain extent.

[cyrille]

Old codgers getting sunshine on a budget doesn't really have much of an element of surprise anyway, though.
