Mnarja

June 28, 2024

Today, 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
