Malta joined the rest of the Catholic world today in Easter Sunday celebrations with several processions with statues of the Risen Christ all over the islands.

In line with tradition, runs with the statues were held along parts of the routes.

Children also had their Easter eggs and figolli blessed in several localities.

Earlier today, Archbishop Charles Scicluna led Easter Mass at St John's CoCathedral.
