PHOTO GALLERY:
Feast of Saint George at Qormi, Malta
June 2004

Page Description
This photogallery consists of many photos from from the traditional local feast of the city of Hal-Qormi (central region of Malta) dedicated to Saint George. When the feast arrives in a particular town or village, there will be many activities going on and preparations done, some of which would have taken nearly a year of dedicated, sometimes voluntary work. The streets are closed for vehicles and the people gather there following the band playing joyful music. The streets are decorated with many things such as colourful large statues, tapestry, light, etc. In some important streets there will also be caravans with take away food, drinks and icecream to buy. The most beautiful and rich decoration is undoubtfully the church. As it can be seen here it is decorated by lights from the outside, and much more royal-like stuff inside as it can be seen in the photos below. Finally there will be those spectacular firework displays (climax at the eve of the feast - usually a saturday night) which consists of sky fireworks and ground fireworks, the later more known as cikcifogu (chick-chi-fwo-guw) derived and corrupted from the Italian Gioco di fuoco that is Fire Play. There is a description about every photo and the photogalllery in nicely presented with navigation buttons and photo thumbnails. This particular page contains several examples of colourful and bright sky fireworks [MarZ] Visitor hits from 10-Jul-04:
