Żejtun will be celebrating the start of the olive-picking season on Saturday and next Sunday. Since the place name means olive and is associated with olive tree cultivation in all Semitic/Arab-speaking cultures, it was only natural for the council to introduce the event celebrating the olive-pressing season.

The focal point of the festivity will be the blessing of freshly picked olives on the parvis of the parish church and the pressing of the olives, followed by free tasting.
