Malta: Good Friday Afternoon Procession Including Transport
Overview
The Good Friday celebrations are primarily of a religious nature, where the faithful gather in large numbers to commemorate the passion and death of Jesus Christ.
On this day, churches are deprived of their traditional ornamental style to give a sombre outlook. In the afternoon, various towns and villages commemorate the Passion of the Christ with a solemn procession of statues. Each statue represents a particular episode in the Passion of the Christ and is carried by bearers. Participants are dressed as biblical characters who take part in the procession in a dignified manner. Many processions include men bearing a cross and sometimes dragging chains tied to their bare feet as an act of faith or penance.
Join us on this immersive occasion as we visit the Good Friday procession at the village of Żebbuġ, experience the traditions of the community, marvel at the life-size statues and stunning costumes, and admire the way the locals honour God through these revered yearly processions.
