Easter Sunday processions with statues of the Risen Christ were held in many localities around Malta and Gozo this morning.

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

Children had their Easter eggs and figolli blessed.

Video above shows the run with the statue of the Risen Christ in slow motion in Cospicua. (footage above by Darrin Zammit Lupi, still pictures by Kurt Sansone, John Fereday and DOI, video below by Jeffrey Muscat).
