Blessing of church bells in Qala

A historic moment in 1922 during the blessing of newly cast church bells for Qala, Gozo. Clergy members dressed in traditional vestments conduct the religious ceremony, surrounded by altar boys and onlookers. The beautifully adorned bells, engraved with intricate designs and religious figures, are set for installation in the church tower. The solemn atmosphere is complemented by palm branches, symbolising the sacred nature of the event. This rare image captures an important milestone in the religious and cultural heritage of the village.
