A different setting to what you are accustomed to. In the tiny village of Baħrija, a traditional feast dwells in the heart of the villagers. It’s a different kind of feast, one that celebrates our Christian core values and the life of Saint Martin.

The square surrounding the main church will be full of ongoing traditional fairs, artisan stalls and traditional foods. We will be set up here.

Bring a blanket and some snacks, and then spend a day in the countryside. When participating in any events held next to the church, all sales will be donated to the church, whereas artisan stalls will pay a fee as a donation.

Whether a Christian or not, come along and enjoy a day of traditions, a day of family time and the countryside.

It is usually a day jam-packed with people, so come early and, if possible, carpool to reduce traffic. Maybe this will put you off, but the people’s energy sets up a good spirit and energy amongst us.

Btw, there will also be a classic car show, and at noon, pet blessings will take place in front of the main church.

Looking forward to welcoming you to our village, and to putting on sale some of my mother’s crochet bags, and possibly some plants grown with love from our very own home gardens!
