First Sunday in July
Madonna Ta' Lourdes, Qrendi, South Eastern District, Southern Region, Malta
In 1878, 20 years after the apparitions at Lourdes, the parish priest of
Qrendi on Malta's south coast started a Confraternity of Our Lady of Lourdes
there and commissioned Maltese sculptor Carlo Darmanin to make a statue for a
Lourdes chapel in the town church. On the first Sunday in July (or sometimes
the last Sunday in June), after solemn high mass and vespers, the statue
processes through the town, accompanied by the Qrendi Lourdes Band Club and
musicians from neighboring towns. As in many Maltese communities, the Lourdes
Band Club maintains a fireworks factory to supply the celebration.
