Feast of Saint Martin in Baħrija

The traditional feast of Saint Martin was celebrated in November in Baħrija. Various liturgical celebrations have been organized in the Church reaching various sectors of this pastoral zone. The celebrations reached their climax on Saturday 11 November through a solemn mass followed by a Procession with the statue of San Martin in the streets of Baħrija. The small statue of Saint Martin was made by Giuseppe Caruana in 1945 and restored by artist Aaron Camilleri Cauchi in the past months arriving back again in Baħrija just in time for  this year's feast.

The Feast of San Martin also brings with it the traditional fair that has been held in Bahrija for many years. The fair is organized by a number of Church volounteers who coordinate this activity and the initiatives that are organized. A good number of helpers also help throughout the year in the organization of the pastoral life of this area which is entrusted to the Augustinian friars of Rabat.
