The statue of Santa Marija at the Gozo Cathedral is one of the most cherished possessions. Its solemn entry into the cathedral on April 29, 1956, is commemorated every year.
The 65th anniversary of this event will be commemorated at the cathedral this evening. Archpriest Joseph Sultana will lead a sung Mass at 6.30pm with the participation of the committee of the Philharmonic Society and the Aurora youth choir.
The statue was acquired by the Leone Philharmonic Society in 1897 from the ‘fabbrica di statue religiose’ of Rome.
It arrived in Gozo in July 1897 and was blessed by Bishop Camilleri at the parvis of Saint James church, at It-Tokk, on August 13.
The restoration of the Holy Relics chapel at the Gozo Cathedral is almost ready.
This is the first time in living memory that the chapel has undergone an entire renovation. The chapel will be inaugurated during a musical-historic evening on Friday.
The bust of Saint Ursula, including her arm-bone, that for many years stood upon the table of the altar, has now been moved in a niche upon the altar dedicated to Saint Ursula in another chapel of the cathedral. The bust was donated to the cathedral by the Governor of Gozo, Eugenio-Romirez Maldonado, in 1614.
A large crucifix sculpted in wood was removed from the chapel will be moved in its former place.
