The Three Wise Men arrived in Malta this afternoon on their way to Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem, where they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Their arrival surprised people who happened to be at Malta International Airport  when they arrived on Air Malta’s flight KM 613 from Rome.

They greeted the Magi who were soon on their way as their horses were waiting outside the building.

Carrying their gifts, the Three Wise Men will tomorrow head from Selmun at 9am to Mellieħa Parish Square accompanied by children and escorted by Roman soldiers.

They will stop briefly at Dar il-Madonna tal-Mellieħa at 9.45am, and a re-enactment featuring Herod will take place at the Parish Square.

They will then continue on their way to Gozo to visit the live crib in Għajnsielem where they will take part in a traditional ceremony bringing the Christmas and New Year festivities to an end.

The event is being held by the Għajnsielem Local Council in collaboration with the Mellieħa Local Council.
