Id-Duluri

Fejn hu l-ġmiel, fejn hu l-ħjar li bih mimlija?Il-profeti ħabbruk. Minn fuq ħaddejkGħebu l-wardiet, u fuq xofftejk id-dinjaTad-daħka mietet ma’ leħħet għajnejk.

Hekk, mela, fost kemm hawn xebbiet LhudijaKellek tkun l-isbaħ waħda u minn idejkKull barka xxerred u kull ferħ, Marija.Qed nifhmek, mara, f’Dak li miet hemm ħdejk.

Baħar bla tarf in-niket minn ta’ qalbek,Kif bla tarf hija mħabbtek, bħalma kbirKien id-dnub tagħna li ma’ Ibnek sallbek.

Iżjed mill-mewt ħasritek hi felħana;Iżda Alla jżommok ħajja biex issir,Fil-mewt tal-Iben tiegħek, Omm minn tagħna.

The nine statues representing the Passion of Our Lord are the only set of statues in the Maltese islands done by one artist, namely, Chev. Agostino Camilleri. One of the particular characteristics of this procession is the statue of Christ’s Last Supper with his apostles. In fact, it has thirteen figures which are all dressed with clothes made from sheep’s wool. This is another distinct feature which distinguishes this religious manifestation from others held in various villages around Gozo. There are about four hundred persons who take part in this procession.
