The church of Qormi was build in 1584 to replace the old and small one, is one of the most ancient in Malta. All statues are made of papier-mache figures. The first written documents show that the first procession that came out from the parish church of St. George dates back to 15th April 1764 on Palm Sunday and the first procession on Good Friday day was in 1788. Now-a-days around 600 people participate in this form of pageant including around 120 that carry the statues on their shoulders during the procession.
All these Photographs are strictly personal and brought from our family album about Good Friday & Feasts in the Maltese Islands ( Malta & Gozo ) which now holds around 750 photos. Every year more photographs are added to our album. All photos were taken by one or another member of the Borg family, with the help of my friend Karlino Bonnici and scanned for your satisfaction. Others where bought from Frendo Photo Studio.
