My Unforgettable Mnarja Feast in Malta

My best friend asked me to go with her to Malta. I was so excited and so excited. She said we will participate in the Mnarja festival. This feast is also called L-Imnarja to give thanks to Saints Peter and Paul. This feast is a national festival of Malta and it is celebrated every June 29. It was a chance for me to see other international locations and visit exotic places. I was full of excitement! Since we were invited, we forgo studying luxury holidays to Malta.

We prepared the paperwork that are needed, making sure they are updated. We also visited our family doctor for the necessary shots needed for the journey. Our bags were all packed and ready for our airline flight. We purchased extra batteries to make sure our cameras don't run out of power during picture-perfect moments. Our families gave us their blessings and told us to take pleasure in the trip.

We started the adventure at the airport terminal. Many of our friends and family were there to see us. We had loads of fun and took lots of pictures. We rode the aircraft with gladness in our hearts and excitement in our veins. When we arrived, my best friend's uncle and his family accepted and fetched us. They were so thrilled to see us and told us lots of facts, which we were not able to take in. They also listed some of the exciting activities that we will be participating. I couldn't digest them all since I was busy looking at the wonderful scenery that passed us by.

The roads of Malta were alive with activities. We were entranced by the magic of the place. But we didn't forget to take some pictures of the places we see. We discovered that L-Imnarja was a very important feast in the Maltese culture. This feast was extracted from the Roman feast of Luminaria. This literally means "illumination." Since its beginning, the festivities began with a reading of a "bandu." The bandu symbolizes an official and formal announcement of the government. The most incredible sight during the celebration was the procession of torches, which took place at night.

The family that invited us were incredibly generous. They prepared mouthwatering meals for us. Some were rather familiar while others are entirely exotic. We just wolfed down everything, and tasting exotic food was an experience we will continue to cherish. To our enjoyment all the food that we tasted were all amazing. We were also toured to some of the most note-worthy places to see in Malta. We visited St John's Co-Cathedral and prayed there. We saw the ornate interiors of the church and its stunning marble floor. We learned that the Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem worshiped there. We also paid our dues to view the museum. We marveled at the beautiful paintings, statues, and tapestries. For more info about Malta, view website of Malta.
