Last Sunday 17th of September, the St Mary's Maltese community celebrated both the feast of The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Festa Tal-Bambina, and Our Lady of Victories, usually celebrated throughout Malta on the 8th of September as a national holiday. The statue of our Lady of Victories commemorates the Victory of the Knights of the Order of St John and the Maltese over the Ottoman invaders on the 8th of September 1565.
