The fifth edition of the live Nativity village Betleħem f’Għajnsielem was inaugurated by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and blessed by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech on December 14 at Ta’ Passi, Għajnsielem.

Animators entered the Nativity village in a pageant-style procession. Dr Muscat was shown around the village by project manager Franco Ciangura. It will be animated on all weekends and public holidays.

The village will remain open until January 5, when the Three Wise Men will leave from the Italian town of Tolfa, which is twinned with Għajnsielem, and cross over to Gozo to make a triumphal entry to the village for the adoration of Baby Jesus.
