Il-Mixgħela tas-Salib tal-Għolja, organised by the St Nicholas Band Club, together with Siġġiewi council, will once again be held tomorrow.

The local council and other local organisations have made several appeals for investment in the area, mainly for the restoration of the Annunciation chapel and the area around the Laferla Cross, which has been closed to the public for safety purposes. 

The public will be able to walk up to Is-Salib ta’ l-Għolja and access the area below the chapel. 

The event, first organised in 1993, will retain its spiritual and cultural features through the lighting of the foothpath and fields over the hill, with over 1,000 fire torches (fjakkoli). The St Nicholas Band Club is also organising a religious artistic performance and a themed band concert. 

Other local organisations in Siġġiewi, such as Grupp tal-Armar 6 ta’ Diċembru and Għaqda tan-Nar San Nikola, Siġġiewi, organise other events in the locality on Maundy Thursday. 

The Grupp tal-Armar 6 ta’ Dicembru light up the Siġġiewi square with fire torches and organise two exhibitions in the main square: one featuring the Last Supper and the other including various miniature statues representing the passion of Jesus Christ. 

The Għaqda tan-Nar San Nikola, Siġġiewi organise an exhibition close to the footpath of Is-Salib tal-Gholja. The Siġġiewi parish church will be open until midnight for the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the specially decorated altar.
