June 28, 2024Today, the Maltese celebrate Mnarja, Saints Peter and Paul. It dates back to the time of the Knights of Malta in the 16th century. The name derives from the Latin word “Luminare”, meaning to illuminate. And it was precisely the lighting of candles and torches that made people feel their participation in the celebrations. However, over the years, the festival is no longer just a religious commemoration, but has changed its face, being enriched with new elements. Typical traditional dishes, parties, bonfires and fireworks show the best of Maltese folk tradition. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #June 28 #mnarja #Malta

Multicultural and multi-religious almanac
An almanac is a calendar showing the main dates of the calendar, the religious holidays, bearing ephemerides such as the phases of the moon or the duration of the days (lunar and solar calendars).
A calendar is a system for marking dates according to time. Such a system was invented by men to divide and organize time over long periods. The observation of the periodic phenomena of the environment in which they lived — such as the daily movement of the shadow, the return of the seasons or the lunar cycle — served as the first references for organizing the agricultural, social and religious life of societies.
The calendar used today in most of the world is the Gregorian calendar. In everyday language, an ephemeris designates what happens daily; the ephemeris of the day is the list of the significant events of this day.
