This historic black-and-white photo captures the vibrant crowd gathered for the Feast of St George in Victoria. The square in front of St George’s Basilica is packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder, as clergy and parishioners proceed with banners and statues through the tightly packed festa-goers. Traditional Gozitan balconies and festive decorations line the surrounding buildings, enhancing the spiritual and communal atmosphere. The photo offers a powerful testament to the island’s deep-rooted Catholic traditions and the central role of village feasts in Gozitan life.
