For the third year running the arrival of the Magi will be presented in Xaghra, Gozo on Sunday at 10.30 a.m.

First to enter Victory Square will be Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

When they take their place in front of the Basilica, a few shepherds with their flocks arrive and join the Holy Family.

Converging on the square from different routes will be the three Wise Men riding on horseback.

Up in the sky a star will start to move from over the parish offices crossing the square and leading the Magi to Jesus, to whom they present their gifts.

This activity, first held in Gozo in 2009, is organised by the Society Christmas in Xaghra with the collaboration of archpriest Carmelo Refalo, the Xaghra Historical Reenactment Organisation, the Guiding Light Youth Group, Vascas Jewellers and Victor Muscat's Horse Riding.

At 11 a.m. Mass will be said at the basilica with the Magi making the offerings.
