| Traditional Maltese Beliefs, Festivities and Practices |
Your malta holiday would entail that you learn and appreciate the culture of Malta. What makes Malta more unique are its culture and traditions which were the result of many centuries of influence by different people and of different races. Throughout the years, Malta has absorbed the traditions of others and made these their own , thus enriching their culture and traditions. Having your perfect malta holiday would entail that you immersed yourself for awhile in the culture and traditions of the mystic island nation of the Mediterranean region. An example of these traditions is the Mnarja festas which is a common Maltese folklore festival which has music, folk dancing, colorful horses and donkey races. This is one of the celebrations which can make your malta holiday more unique. Another traditional celebration is the Imnarja which means illumination, it celebrates the harvest and takes place in time for the feast of St. Peter. If your malta holiday can coincide during this day, do not miss out the celebration as the people would have a night long picnic at Buskett garden sharing a traditional Maltese meal. The traditional Maltese pastime and activity during festivals is the “i-ghana” which is traditional singing of spontaneous songs in Maltese. Love and the sadness of lost love are the topics for the songs which must be in rhyming quatrains. Learning to do this or at least be given the chance to hear this tradition will make your malta holiday complete. During this time, your malta holiday can also be more enhanced with bare-back donkey and horse races. Another famous Maltese tradition to make your malta holiday a holistic experience is the learning of the evil eye. This is accepted as a fact in Malta and, to ward off the evil, you must make the sign of the cross many times or point your index finger and the little finger at the source of the trouble. Your malta holiday will be more interesting if you get to know some common beliefs of the Maltese People. If you are spending your Christmas in Malta, why not just make it into traditional Christmas malta holiday? There will be special masses available and churches all over the three main islands will ring to welcome the nativity of Christ. The Maltese family celebrates Christmas with the traditional Presepju Quccija is a unique experience to see for your vacation. It involves an old tradition on what will happen during the Maltese child’s first birthday. Family members will place in a basket objects representing various professions and the first thing that the child will touch is believed to foretell the future profession of the child. When a traditional Maltese cuts a new loaf, he basically will kiss it firsts and make a sign of the cross on the bread with a knife to bless it.
