What's On?

In Gozo Christmas time is becoming increasingly attractive. For centuries people have built cribs in their homes and bagpipers went through the streets playing traditional tunes.

Now the main streets are decorated with twinkling lights and large cribs are displayed in front of churches and main squares. On the evening of christmas Eve members of the christian Doctrine Society organize a procession with a statue of Baby Jesus though the village street. All the young boys and girls of the locality take part. In most villages the procession takes the form of a pageant with participants dressed in period costumes. It is usually concluded with a christmas play.

Many families organize Christmas dinners at a restaurant, followed by the midnight mass. During midnight mass held in all parish churches, a young boy delivers the sermon.
