The Sanctuary of Our Lady of
the Sacred Heart in Sliema, Malta was founded in 1877, and has been a parish
church since 1918. We were present at the church
festa which is held yearly.
The church was built in a Roman-Ionic
style, with gilded sculptures and decorative paintings. The dome is decorated
with paintings of different Franciscan saints, and the ceiling depicts joyful
episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary.
Interior of the church
The glorious Statue of the
Virgin Mary carrying the infant Jesus, is a sight to behold.
