Mnarja Feature

The Maltese people, especially those at Mdina and Nadur, celebrate Mnarja on June 29th - the feast of St Peter and St Paul. The origins of this popular feast can be traced back into the 15th century. Mnarja is rooted in Maltese culture and tradition. This feast has always been considered as a special day for everyone, particularly for the peasants who used to have their annual break at this time of year and try to enjoy it to the full.
