Xaghra Parish » Gallery » Festa 2008 » 08 SEP 08 FINAL MARCH
Festa Maria Bambina 2008 came to a grand ending. The Xaghrin followed the Bambina carried along our streets. Many followed in prayer and devotion. Festa marches turned to religious ones mixed with hymns to Our Lady on her birthday. The final act was when all knelt in front of the Blessed Sacrament, thank the Lord for favours received during the festa days and to receive benediction. The final external event was the last march starting from January Street at 10.30 p.m. Now was the time for everybody to celebrate including those who were away in the fields in charge of the beautiful fireworks. They were sacrificing themselves to make the festa a big success. Now was the time for them to join in the merriment of the last hour. Externally they were making merry, they were rejoicing for a festa carried out with dignity. At times, however, some showed long faces facing reality that the festa was over. It was a mixture of all sentiments and feelings. The Victory Band with its festive band marches fuelled the dancing spirit.
