The Village of Ghajnsielem lies in the south eastern tip of the island overlooking the busy harbour of Imgarr. One tale that focus on Ghajnsielem is the vision where once lived a kind peace living farmer called Anglu Grech.

He was so devout that he recited the holy Rosary even when he was hard at work in his fields. One evening while he was watering his crops he saw a vision of a radiant lady who requested him to erect a statue of Our Lady of Loreto. The vision indicated the site as that where the old parish church now stands.

In spite of the villagers meagre means they raised a substantial sum which enabled them to rect a statue on the spot the vision had indicated. After that every night the villagers assembled around the statue and recited the Holy Rosary with great devotion.
