- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- The church that stands today is a monumental shrine to Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu built between 1920 and 1931 and is considered to be an architectural masterpiece due to its interior that boasts superb sculptures and craftsmanship in Maltese stone. The church was consecrated by Pope Pius XI in 1931 who raised it to the status of a Basilica.

AN AMAZING CHURCH ⛪ 😲
Those mosaic walls outside are piece of art - they depict the " 20 Mysteries of the Rosary". All those frames hanging off the walls are "Thank You Letters" to 'Madonna ta'Pinu' for "heavenly intervention" received by her devotees 🙏.
THANKS STEVE for the beautiful tour 🚶😇 🎥 👏 👏 👏.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ♥ 🇺🇦 ™
Thanks for the info John
@@EnglishmaninMalta My pleasure Steve 🙏.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ♥ 🇺🇦 ™
Steve, you are not a complete Atheist, you have a lot of respect for Churches and religious artefacts, therefore I think you would make a very good Catholic. I shall pray for your conversion. Bless you! 😇,
Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️thanks Steve for taking us to all the beautiful churches in Malta, this church is like the churches we have here with out the shrine, ❤️❤️🇲🇹♥️♥️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️👍👍👍
This is very special
Ta Pinu is a must when visiting Gozo! Very special!
Yes its been a long time ago I went
How beautiful!I remember I came to visit this Church back in 1979 when I was there with my parents.It has changed alot.I dont remember the gorgeous mosaics being there then, but, I do remember large white statues being outside.Yes, I agree with you, it does somewhat resemble Christ the king Church in Paola, when you first go into the Church.Thank you for this lovely video and all the videos you put up.
THANK YOU DIVINE MOTHER FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS LOVE AND FULFILLING OUR WISHES. AMEN, OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI OM.🕉️🙏🕉️🙏🥥🍒🥭🍉🫐🍎🌷🪷🌹💐🌸🌺🇨🇦
Hello Englishman in Malta! Thanks for the nice video! I saw it very interestingly! It's a good job! Have a nice day!
Thank you for the support
What an amazing Church, Steve, I've been there a few years ago, but didn't see it all, so it was good to see your video, it's the most beautiful Church. Thank you for sharing your walk.
Yes It so lovely over there
😀thanks Steve for showing us this👍 Gozo church/so 🤗much I have not seen on the Gozo Island💃 lol /amazing mosaics outside & a beautiful church inside ,👌 i'ts so big/I really enjoyed watching it😎.from Copenhagen DK 🇩🇰
Hey Mary, There are even better close up
Thankyou...loved the video , when I came last year I was on the tour bus , it was so hot , and we had
no time at all to go inside and enjoy this magnificent church . Thanks to you I have seen the inside of this church .
You should go on the local bus, you get more time to see this awesome place
When I was there many years ago they had crutches and wheel chairs hanging on the walls from people who were healed. I think it was this church.
Yes there was many things like that there
Hey Steve loved the old bus ride from valetta to st julians,poor man bumping his head,and the Italian mafia 😀 having a sing song 🎵, got to give that a go,great video take care fella 😀 😉
I just loved that trip so much fun , But this was the church video
Fantastic artwork and architecture there. I like how you walked through the church and gave us a nice tour. I tried doing that at a mormon church in America and they kicked me out, lol. 😹
Thank you my friend
Visited some years ago, lovely church, beautiful scenery.Thanks for bringing back memories.👍😊
Very welcome Marion
I am speechless Steve....like very much....as always big thanks !!!!

Sounds great!
Hey Steve ,love the work and detail in the church , there’s so much to take in , I find it fascinating .. Beautiful outside , what a view . Loving these Gozo videos , brings back great memories 💜
Memories of going to church you mean ? Only thing of Gozo many hills for people to roll up ..🤔
@@EnglishmaninMalta memory doesn’t go that far back 😂 .. had some fab food when there with great service and views . Oh and funny rolled up a couple hills there myself !!
Steve there's a side chapel Which a lot of Mireles happen
Think I walked into it ?
I’m with you , Steve, a total atheist but I do appreciate the beauty of old churches and the mosaic is although modern is beautiful .A lot of time and work went into that.
Take care
Thank you for talking the time to comment Joy
Gozo I love,it is an amazing island 🏝 the basilica is just so amazing,great video Steve,you do show all the beauty of Malta 🇲🇹 fella cheers 🍻

You should go you will love it !
Steve you keep excelling your self . What a place ,I visited just before lockdown .just amazing. I do love Gozo .keep up the good work.
Graham
I Am try to spare time to go more Thank you Graham
Hi Steve hope you are keeping well
That is a amazing church. I was there at the start of May. Gozo is a lovely island.
Yes it really is ..I must go back and do more gozo trips
A Fantastic church
It really is my friend
Such a beautiful church and the mosaics outside are stunning 😍 Visited Gozo a few times but as far as I recall we’ve not been to Ta’ Pinu. I’m thinking when we are over in Malta in July to perhaps book a 1 night stay in Gozo, that way we’ll get to see more places. Is there anywhere you’d recommend as a central base?
You should go for a walk around its beautiful
Hi me and two friends has a very bizarre experience here has anyone else had this
I was on the tour bus when we pulled over,only gave us 10 minutes ffs
Yes Thats always the problems with tours
Yet another great tour Steve , I`ve always wondered as to where they get the money to keep their churches in such good order .
lol 😂 did you ever go to Rome ?? you see how rich the church is, And many rich people support the church in Malta and Gozo
Nah Steve , never managed a stopover in Italy , incidentaly I`ve just read about a Catholic church in New York being robbed of a tabernacle worth....wait for it..............`Two Million Quid ` . Apparently it was made of 18 carat gold .
hi steve what kind of camera you have please
GoPro 8 and 10
Hi Steve, just curious which hospital is best for emergencies, cardiology, strokes..... thanks
Well we only have one government hospital which is best for that sort of thing, Mater Dai and several private hospitals which of course are expensive
They really made a nice job as they put them mosaics & statues up, I think in 2017. You should of had a quick walk up It-Triq tas-Salib ! It´s really nice & peaceful.
It-Triq tas-Salib Gozo ? do you mean Tas-Salvatur Hill ? if so I am going back soon
@@EnglishmaninMalta I ment the hill across the road from Ta-Pinu (It-Triq tas-Salib) but Tas-Salvatur (near Marsalforn) is also worth going up
No one should be forced to be around a lot of people without masks if they don't want to. There is still some danger, at least indoors when there are lots of people. Like The courts in America forced mask mandates at airports to be removed, I refuse to go through an airport that over 1000 people a day travel through unless everyone has to wear a mask so I will avoid traveling for now. There was a lot of angry people when the courts did that. Taking people's comfort away like that. Then again flight costs have skyrocketed anyway.
'Ta' Pinu' just like any other church in the Maltese Islands they don't like cameras when church service is running because no one likes cameras running then, yet other than that Ta' Pinu does not mind cameras, I have took plenty of photos inside that church with permission. After church service ended. Just as long as you are not stalking anyone with the camera you should be fine before or after service in churches.
I am not sure if you are still in Gozo, yet 'Rotunda St. John Baptist Church' is a nice church, with an incredible view from the roof top, they hope for tips in exchange for being allowed on to the rooftop. The church it's self is beautiful. It's located in Xewkija, Gozo.
Hey Alan, you worry too much Life is for living !!
Steve is this the video you send me on insta ? ps Nice video
Yes, i did a mail shot on Instagram, but it didn't work too well , thanks for checking out the video
