| Abstract: | The local communities of Malta have always held in high esteem the patron saints of their towns and villages and, throughout the years, they have duly celebrated their feasts. Throughout the years there emerged the tradition of having a processional statue of the patron saint which would be carried shoulder high throughout the streets of the locality at the annual 'festa', The Balzan processional statue of the Annunciation has always been dated 1868. The 150th anniversary of the processional statue was going to be celebrated in 2018, but research last year revealed that the anniversary actually falls in 2019. |
