The Feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck
Rotarians and their guests enjoyed celebrating in the evening of the 9 February, the Feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck by visiting the Church. It is Malta’s most important holiday, commemorating the arrival of the Apostle Paul in 60 AD and the arrival of Christianity in Malta.
On this evening before the Feast of St Paul’s, the Church of St Paul’s Shipwreck is at its most beautiful. During the visit, we learnt some background information about the church and the significance of the arrival of the Apostle Paul in Malta. The story of the shipwreck, in which all 274 people on board came ashore safely, is a cornerstone of Maltese history and faith.
Some Rotarians and guests enjoyed the aerial fireworks (the ones in the sky). There was also a show of ground fireworks synchronised with music starts at the Bell Monument.
