RISING ABOVE ALL OTHERS by sangwann

RISING ABOVE ALL OTHERS

Enlarge for best view, if you have time. Thank you.

Last Saturday, Christine and I paid a visit to the ‘miraculous’ statue of Christ the Redeemer in the parish church of l-Isla ( Senglea); l-Isla is close to Bormla. On the way we saw the Bormla parish church all lit up for its festa. It made a magnificent sight from l-Isla, only about 1km away. I immediately took some shots. This is one of them.

The festa was held yesterday, Monday. The parish church of Bormla ( also known as Cospicua) is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary. This is the only festa that falls during the winter months; the others are celebrated in summer or late spring.
Thank you very much for looking and for the lovely comments and the fav's on yesterday's picture.
Fabulous capture. Should be seen on black. Gorgeous view. Y

A great capture of this nice church beautiful lighted. Fav.
Our country is for a big part overpopulated . I don`t like to be/go there although all of my family lives there. I prefer the country. To give you an idea of the size, most pic.`s are taking within a one hour drive. . The biggest distance in our country is 4 hours at the most.
Rain you need to grow the crops. you better can like it as it comes as it pleased it self.

That looks beautiful. My primary school was called the Immaculate Conception although I think it has now been renamed Our Lady Immaculate!
