Nadurin pack Church to hail statue [17/06/03]
The people of Nadur enthusiastically hailed the statue of St Peter and St Paul on Tuesday, marking the first day of a whole week of celebrations in honour of Nadur's two patron saints. The titular statue was taken out of its niche following a special co-celebration led by Archpriest Saviour Muscat. A young Nadur girl, Jahel Muscat - winner of this year's Premju Qalb Generuza (generous heart award) - symbolically opened the celebrations. The Mnarja Band, then, started its official Mnarja services with a march from Agius de Soldanis Street to the Band Club. The novena starts on Wednesday.
