Oh wow Steve! You made me very very happy with this video! I love Paola and have stayed there at my cousins place many times when Ive visited. That building all lit up is the local Band Club, and the church Christ the King is now actually a Basilica.It is so magnificent, and I have been to many masses there when I was there. Just seeing the street and all the shops! So many cherished memories for me.Thank you so very much for all your Christmas videos and especially this one. Hearing those Church bells brought a tear to my eyes for sure. I just wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year and all the very best.Take care from Frida Sydney Australia.
Paola a lovely town. As usual the churches are beautiful. There is something appealing (no pun intended) about church bells. I could just sit there and listen forever. Now Steve, no more nonsense about retiring. What would we all do without you?. I am sure your videos lift a lot of people's spirits during these difficult times. 🙏👍😇
Wow those bells are very striking! 🤪 I must say, even though I'm not a fan of Christmas I do love the Christmas lights 😍 and the architecture of the churches never fails to blow me away. Beautiful 😍
A most awesome church, it was spectacular. The Christmas lights were very pretty too. Another great video, Steve, thank you, you've covered nearly the whole island!
Really nice to go around the lovely church but hells bells. You wouldn't want to suffer with headaches if you lived near there. Thanks for that Steve, take care and stay safe.
This a good one nice video and nice sound of the beautiful bells 🔔 ringing. Love to hear you say a few words in Maltese you sound so cute 🥰 take care and stay safe 😍 beautiful church it’s amazingly beautiful and the nativity too ❤️ love the bells 🔔 thank you so much loved this video so much 🙏
Mary 🇦🇺 love love the bells, we don’t have that here, there heavenly, Steve your videos are the best, tomorrow is new year eve, it’s also my birthday, my granddaughter asked me y l always have fireworks on my birthday,💕💕💕🇲🇹
Hi Steve, the video hubby been waiting to see, he has family there, our grandaughter was christened in that church, it’s beautiful, nice walk down familiar roads, thank you.
I've only ever stood outside the church but its s o beautiful inside. Love all the chandeliers and lights. My extended family live in Paola so watch their Easter procession there as they take part. Thanks for sharing. Their lights are great too xx
Thanks for sharing Steve, Paola was one of my regular haunts when living in Marsaskala. Nice lights and again your timing with the church bells was perfect. Take care and happy new year.
Really enjoyed the video Steve , i often go on the Skyline webcams and look at Paola , they have two , the one looks at the church , it was lovely to go inside , and the other looks up towards the traffic lights , it is always interesting watching the people going about their business and the traffic is crazy just missing each other. Take care Steve 👣
Hi Steve, another great video! I am going to miss watching these Christmas videos! The church is so beautiful and hearing the bells makes it so emotional. I had never been to this town but was impressed with wider streets and Christmas lights. Thank you and happy new year 2021!
Hi Steve sweety that was really wow I loved the beautiful church and the ringing of the bells and lights I have never seen that church, the part you went in at the end of video is called isagristia where all the garments and vestments are kept for the different functions hense why some items were hanging up and some laid out on the middle isle you,re such a sweetheart sharing such beauty we wouldn't otherwise get to see some of it really magical and so pleasingly nice thank you so much take care stay safe and always happy happy new year Xxxx ⚘😘❣🤗❣🥂
@@EnglishmaninMalta thank you Steve sweety you always find such amazing places for us to enjoy xx so so grateful for your kindness it really helps the difficult times we are all enduring very soothing as it takes us away from all that and creates so much happiness you are special we are lucky take care stay safe and always happy xxxx and ❤💙😘⚘🤗💕
Wow Steve, nice video of our lovely town ! Yes correct the building infront of the Basilica is the Soċjeta Filarmonika GM Fra Antoine De Paule Band Club. Decorated to its best as usual, although due to coivd restrictions right now was forced to close for a couple of weeks/months
Thanks again Steve, enjoyed this video as much as any of them, it was great to tour the church as I have not been in that one very much, one reason is because I live over here, every time you pass all those take away food shops I be craving for those pastizzi specially the pizzelli ones, bye 4 now & All The Best in 2021. feeling a bit deaf now with those BELL, hahahahaaaaaaaaaaa.
Cor Steve, that church is a whopper. Good to see the works have been completed outside. The last few times I was there passing through on the bus it was a bit of a building site and the traffic was appalling, even by Maltese standards. Have a great New Year and see you in 2021. It has to be a better year surely.
I'm surprised you're not deaf Steve! 🔔😂 🔔😂 Beautiful church though, and so big! So many new places to visit when we are finally allowed to.. let's hope it won't be too long now 😊 🏴 🇲🇹

HI STEVE WAS WATCHING YOUR VIDEO OF PAOLA VERT NICE ONE,BUT A BIT TO NOISY AS REGARDS THE BELLS,DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER ONES,BUT AGAIN WELL DONE, YOUR FRIENDLY WELSHMAN.
Ha ha ha.......Is it just me or do others agree that the word to describe the Maltese bellringing is `AWFUL` ?.....................It`d drive Quasimodo mad .

Opssss the door was open ...lol so englishman explores ...lol
Was baptised at Kristu Re, so finding out it has been elevated to a Basilica, that is uplifting! Did not know it was Malta's largest church!!!
Great village and beautiful church. I always enjoy going there !
I have not been back to Malta since 96'. Remember when they brought the Ta' Pinu painting the day before we left for the U.K. in 83. Beautiful memories. Now I am in Canada. Lol
