Not November 11 (that is St Martin's Day in the rest of Europe), but the summer feast of St Martin is celebrated in the village of Bahrija, and the celebration includes a procession, fireworks, and the traditional meal of rabbit stew. The summer feast of St Martin is a uniquely Maltese tradition, and it reflects the festa season, when every village celebrates its patron saint with fireworks, processions, and food. The village of Bahrija is a small village on the west coast of Malta, and the feast of St Martin is the highlight of the year.
A day for public knowledge, borrowed books, study time, research, and the simple dignity of a quiet place.
A day for food, water, grooming, shade, warmth, and the small routines that keep animals safe and loved.
