St Joseph's Church

On Sunday I ventured to the church dedicated to St Joseph, in Rabat, Malta, where the celebration of the saint was being celebrated. There was the evening procession in the unusual cooler temperatures of mid-March, so much different than the warm days in July and August, when the majority of village festas are celebrated. 
But I want you to enjoy just a few photos of the beautiful ornate church, dressed up in all its splendor and glory. One of the photos shows a bishop leading the Evening Vespers, while others highlight the tapestries on walls, the chandeliers, the heavy silver sanctuary lamp as well as the painted ceiling. Please click on each photo to enlarge and get a better resolution of this magnificent church, run by the Franciscans. It is not a parish church but is very much loved by many. In two weeks, they will also hold the Good Friday procession with biblical characters and passion statues.
