Malta Medina Procession Sunset
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of the Medina Procession in Malta, an annual religious event that has been taking place since the 16th century. The image, dated 1909, depicts the procession as it makes its way through the narrow streets of the historic city, with the sun setting in the background. The Medina Procession, also known as the "Il-Qassis," is a devotional parade that honors Saint Paul's shipwreck on the Maltese islands in 60 AD. Participants carry ornate and intricately designed flags, each representing one of the seven Maltese villages, as they walk in solemn procession through the streets of the ancient city. The sunset adds a magical quality to the scene, casting a warm glow over the ancient stone buildings and creating a sense of reverence and awe. The flags, with their vibrant colors and intricate designs, stand out against the fading light, adding to the visual impact of the photograph. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of Malta, a country that has been shaped by its religious heritage and the influences of various civilizations over the centuries. The Medina Procession is just one of the many unique and fascinating events that continue to draw visitors to this beautiful Mediterranean destination.
