Cherry Picking in Xaghra

Categories & Tags: People Work and Craftsmanship
A 1924 photograph capturing a rural scene in Xaghra, Gozo, where a local family stands in front of a windmill, proudly displaying baskets filled with cherries. The backdrop features the iconic domes of Xaghra Parish Church, adding a distinct landmark to the image. The individuals, dressed in traditional attire, reflect the agricultural heritage of the village, with women, children, and men gathered for what appears to be a seasonal harvest. The rustic stone walls and wooden fences emphasise the traditional farming lifestyle of early 20th-century Gozo.
