Our Lady of the Sacred Heart ( Malta)

 

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.

The glorious Statue of the Virgin Mary carrying the infant Jesus, is a sight to behold.
