A copy of the miraculous painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which is venerated at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica, Valletta, was recently taken on a day-long pilgrimage to Gozo on the initiative of the Carmelite friars in Malta.

The painting was first taken to St Theresa School, Kerċem, where it received a warm welcome by the school community, staff and the students. It was placed in the convent and school’s chapel for several hours.

In the evening it was taken to Kerċem parish church where a Marian celebration took place before its return to Malta.

Basilica rector Fr Alex Scerri, other Carmelite friars and a group of devout followers accompanied the pilgrimage.
