A historical scene from the 1950s capturing the blessing of boats in Marsalforn Bay, a cherished tradition led by the Rector of St Paul’s Church. The bay is filled with wooden boats, many decorated and carrying people dressed in white, as the waterside gathers a large crowd of spectators. This event was part of the annual Sports’ Day, a significant moment for the local fishing and maritime community. (Photo donated by Paul Falzon)
