Holy Week in Malta is a deeply sacred time. Churches shift to a more solemn appearance, removing ornaments and decorations. The air is filled with reverence as locals prepare to remember the Passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On Good Friday, many towns and villages host processions to mark the crucifixion of Christ. These are not ordinary parades. They are sacred, emotional, and visually striking events. You’ll see life-size statues representing different scenes from the Passion, carried by local bearers.

Meanwhile, dozens of participants dressed as biblical characters join the procession, walking with dignity and purpose. In some cases, men carry heavy crosses or drag chains tied to their bare feet as acts of penance and devotion.

This experience takes you to one of the island’s most beloved processions in the village of Żebbuġ. You’ll feel the devotion and emotion of the Maltese people as you sit among them and admire their faith and artistry. With a guaranteed reserved seat, you’ll enjoy an unobstructed view, while a licensed guide provides live commentary to help you understand each scene and tradition.

It’s a once-a-year experience filled with spirituality, culture, and emotional storytelling.
