[WATCH] Malta celebrates feast of St Paul’s shipwreck

St Paul's Feast

Malta today celebrates the feast of its patron saint St Paul, with a mass held at the Church of St Paul’s Shipwreck in Valletta, celebrated by Archbishop Charles Scicluna and attended by President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca and numerous politicians, past and present.

The feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck is one of the most attended feasts in Malta by locals and tourists alike, who take to the streets in revelry after the mass.

The weather cooperated, much to the relief of feast enthusiasts, allowing tourists and residents of Valletta to throng the capital’s narrow streets for the celebration of the arrival of St. Paul the Apostle in Malta in 60AD.
