The Maltese love to party. All through the summer “festas” take place. There is always some occasion – mostly a saint that is celebrated. Therefore every single small village celebrates its own festivity with parades, decorated streets, images of saints, brass music and illuminated churches shine and finally the obligatory firework is displayed. Religion rates very high in Malta: The whole isle counts 365 (!) churches. One of the most important holidays is the Easter festival. In merely endless processions scenes from the bible are presented.
