Our Lady of the Lily Musical Society will inaugurate a replica of the statue venerated in Mqabba parish church on Saturday.

The replica of the Our Lady of Lilies statue was hand-carved by local artist Antoine Farrugia out of a single rock extracted from the foundations of the society’s premises prior to its reconstruction.

The statue will be placed in the garden situated on the Mqabba Bypass, opposite Karmenu Ciantar Street.

It will “immortalise the centuries-old devotionof the villagers towards the cult of Our Lady of Lilies,” the society said.

The unveiling ceremony will start at 7.30 p.m. It will include a musico-literary soiree and performances by Our Lady of the Lily band.
