The village of Santa Luċija in Gozo is celebrating the feast in honour of St Lucy between today and Sunday.
Tomorrow at 7.45pm, the Ta’ Klula Cultural Group will organise the annual Festival of Light. A number of young girls, dressed in long, white gowns and a red sash accompany an elder girl with a wreath of lit candles on her head as they parade from the village church to the square where a large bonfire is lit.
Traditional local buns are distributed to all those present. A brass band also participates in the celebrations.
