Mother of Sorrows

 

Nadur marks a day of devotion [11/04/03]

A huge crowd of Nadurin Friday took part in the procession with the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows. Friday before Palm Sunday is the day dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows. The procession started at Grunju Street and went through St Andrews, Old Mill,  December 13th Street and ended up in Nadur's main square. The feast is considered as one of the most revered in the Maltese islands. 

Hundreds of devotees followed the solemn procession and many others decorated their balconies and windows with images and statues of the Holy Mary. There were no statue bearers in this year's procession as the statue was carried round the streets on a construction truck.
