On the evening of Maundy Thursday thousands of Maltese will be visiting seven churches in remembrance of the Passion and death of Our Lord. Is-Seba' Vizti ta' Hamis ix-Xirka. Siltiet mill-Erba' Evangelji, Talb, u Riflessjonijiet is a new 16-page publication compiled by Fr Karm Bezzina and Joe Zammit Ciantar. It includes relevant readings from the Gospels for each of the seven visits, together with short prayers.

Printed in full colour, this booklet is illustrated with photographs of highly artistic miniature Good Friday statues made by George Vella of Victoria, Gozo. The front cover shows a Byzantine icon of Jesus Christ, while the back cover features a statue of the Risen Christ by Alfred Camilleri Cauchi, at the Gozo Cathedral.

Copies of the publication, which costs 50c, are available at most bookshops and churches in Malta and Gozo. The booklet is distributed by BDL of 13, Giorgio Preca Street, San Gwann (tel. 2138-0351/1).
