  • Festa Of Our Lady Of Lilies, , L-Imqabba, On my way to Siġġiewi I got diverted towards Żurrieq and noticed the blue bunting out near a small village of Mqabba (Maltese: L-Imqabba) which is a town in the Southern Region of Malta. It has a traditional Maltese village layout, with a population around 3,000 inhabitants. The Parish Church of the Assumption Is found at the core of the village. It has two band clubs, a number of gardens and a list of national monuments. Mqabba is on my list to visit, Looks interesting, So let’s take a look !!

    That Cross in front of the church is a Dejma Cross. Dejma was a militia made up of male citizens who used these crosses as a gathering site to then go defend the islands from raiders. A Dejma list was recorded in 1419. So those crosses could date from that era.
