Xaghra, Malta - 20 December, 2023: view of the Xaghra Parish Church on Gozo Island in Malta

$The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and national shrine located near Garb on the island of Gozo, the sister island of Malta.\nIn 1883 a woman from the village of Garb, Karmni Grima, heard the voice of Our Lady at the small chapel that then occupied this site. It rapidly became a centre of pilgrimage and the number of visitors soon overwhelmed the little church.\nTodays magnificent church in Romanesque Style was built between 1920 and 1932. It is an architectural masterpiece, especially inside with its superb sculptures and craftsmanship in Maltese stone. The sanctuary was constructed in front of the original chapel. In 1932 the new Church was blessed and opened to the public and in 1935, Pope Pius XI raised it to the dignity of Minor Basilica.\nSince 2017 the space in front of basilica no longer serves as a carpark but with mosaic on both sides it became a place to welcome the devout apart from serving as an attraction and a spiritual aid to pilgrims. The mosaic work was commissioned to the Centro Aletti of Rome, under the guidance of Fr Marko Ivan Rupnik. The Centro Aletti is renowned for the sacred art which it has created in 150 churches all over the world, including the Vatican and sanctuaries such as Lourdes and Fatima.\nTa' Pinu, Gharb, Gozo, Malta, Europe.$

The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, situated above Mġarr Harbour in Gozo, Malta, was built in 1888 and officially opened in 1893. It was designed by architect Giuseppe Bonavia in the neo-Gothic style, inspired by the Marian apparitions reported in Lourdes, France, in 1858. The site was chosen to overlook the harbor, providing a symbolic watch over the arrival and departure of ships. The church was originally intended to serve the pastoral needs of workers and travelers associated with the harbor. Over time, it became a prominent pilgrimage site, especially on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes, celebrated annually on February 11.
