Malta-Bidnija: Feast of The Holy Family 2011

The video shows the Feast of The Holy Family celebrated at the Bidnija Church, Bidnija. Bidnija is the 2nd smallest village after Mdina. A beautiful village situated on a rural hamlet in the central northern part of Malta.
The procession was held on 17th July accompanied by St Mary's Band of Mosta.

You'll see the Bidnija Church, segments of Band Marches, Mass, fireworks by the members of St Mary's Philharmonic Society Mosta and hymn by The Bidnija Choir.

Bidnija Church: In the 1920s a church designed by master mason Salvu Zahra, was built in the area by the inhabitants themselves to serve their spiritual needs. In two years time, the church was built and each family in Bidnija decided to donate something to furnish the church. This church is dedicated to the Holy Family of Nazareth. A titular painting, together with two other works in this church are painted by Ganni Vella.

The titular statue of the Holy Family was made by Wistin Camilleri and blessed in July 1977 by the Archpriest of Mosta of those years Mons. Bartolomeo Bezzina and a procession was made for the first time. The Feast with the procession in the streets of Bidnija is celebrated by the people of this village on the 3rd Sunday of July

Bidnija Village in brief-Wikipedia: The village of Bidnija is situated on a rural hamlet in the central northern part of Malta, and home to 308 people (by 2008) which means that it is the second smallest village in the Maltese islands after Mdina (236 people). Bidnija is a tiny village even by Maltese standards, and is located between two main valleys which are 'Wied Qannotta' and 'Wied Tal-Pwales' that extends into other small valleys surrounding the area. It is still largely a farmer's village since it is entirely surrounded by fields which mainly belong to the inhabitants themselves, although in recent years many have moved here in order to enjoy the quiet life amidst the countryside.
